Better Than Before Breast Cancer with The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach

Do you ever find yourself feeling like life is throwing everything at you, and there's nothing you can do about it?

I find that this is a common experience with the women that I coach. So know that you're not alone. When we find ourselves living life on the defense, holding up our shield and trying to fend off all the curveballs that life throws our way, we're left feeling powerless, exhausted, and drained.

Those are exactly the emotions we want to address, process, and transform when we're creating lives that are better than before breast cancer.

In this episode, I'll talk about the difference between what we want in life and how we create what we want in life. Because it's the gap between what we want and how we're living that can be filled with chaos, leaving us feeling depleted or filled with intention, leading us to feel inspired and empowered.

Check out today's show to understand the most common reasons why we don't plan our life on purpose, the benefits of intentionally planning your life, and some simple tools to help you move closer to creating the life you desire no matter what life throws your way.

As I aired this episode, I was wrapping up my radiation treatment and it got me thinking about the significance of acknowledging our milestones and triumphs, big or small.

But here's a thought: Why do we often link celebrations with foods or drinks that might not be in line with our health aspirations? I'll open up about my personal experiences and the internal debates I've had around the best way to celebrate.

My revelation? The real celebration is in continuing the practices that got us to where we are. For me, that means cherishing the nutritious meals I prepare, sticking to my health regimen, and investing in my well-being.

Celebrating is all about embracing what makes us feel alive and vibrant, and I want to encourage all of you to see caring for yourself from a fresh perspective.

So, today's episode is about redefining rewards and acts of self-love.

Listen now and learn to celebrate your successes while you care for yourself.

Many of the therapies we go through during breast cancer treatment leave us feeling powerless, anxious and crappy.

I think that at least some of that anxiety comes from thinking that you don't have a part to play in your treatment but that's not really the case.

In this Tuesday Terrain Talk episode, we explore the potential roles of specific supplements like berberine, exogenous ketones, niacinamide, and even the ancient practice of fasting, and how they might support or interact with radiation therapy.

With each supplement comes a world of research, potential benefits, and necessary precautions.

Are these supplements and practices truly beneficial? Can they enhance the outcomes of radiation therapy or help manage its side effects? Find out the answers and gain insights that bridge the gap between science and actionable knowledge. This episode promises a blend of expertise, cutting-edge research, and actionable insights that might just change how you approach your treatments.

If you, or someone you know, is on a journey with breast cancer, this episode is a must-listen.

In today's episode, we dive into an area that you will surely resonate with - the profound emotional journey that accompanies physical healing.

It's incredible to realize that, unlike physical pain from a past event, emotional pain resurfaces powerfully when we recall it.

For example, most of us are carrying little 'T' traumas from impactful childhood experiences that are affecting our health and relationships today.

Understanding and processing these emotions can lead to profound healing.

In this episode, we'll explore how these memories influence our adult selves and how we can nurture our younger selves, offering them the comfort and understanding they craved and that will serve us now.

Join me in this episode as we navigate this delicate emotional landscape, encouraging self-awareness, compassion, and holistic healing.

If you've ever felt that tug at your heartstrings when recalling a past event, this episode is a must-listen!

In this episode of The Better Than Before Breast Cancer Podcast , I'll give you a glimpse of a vital piece of a healthy lifestyle that many people overlook or simply refuse to do.

Many of us have thoughts like:

-"I don't know why I can't lose weight."

-"I used to be able to make healthier choices."

-"I just can't figure out what to do."

But what if, instead of dwelling in confusion, we shifted those statements to questions like:

-What has changed since I felt healthy?

-What was different in times that I felt in control?

This episode discusses how to harness these questions and thoughts to reclaim your power and health by:

-Embracing the importance of planning and data.

-Shifting your mindset when it comes to tracking.

Listen now and recall that leading a healthy life and supporting your healthiest terrain isn't about guessing but understanding what you need and what you're actually doing.

This episode dives into our complex emotional journey after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Healing and navigating life aren't linear processes. While having a positive outlook is essential, it's equally important to be realistic and accept the truth, however uncomfortable it might be.

The truth of cancer is that it's a mix of good scans, challenging outcomes, and the back-and-forth of emotions. And guess what? It's okay to feel! It's human.

We also touched on how changes in our body after treatment can sometimes make us nostalgic for things we used to love. But it's essential to remember we can grieve these losses without discounting our present joys. Lastly, external remarks like "at least you're alive" might come our way, but always know your feelings are valid.

Here's a gentle reminder that you're never alone in this. Let's keep lifting each other up and finding strength in shared experiences.

One of the most incredible things about going through tough times is finding people who truly understand what we've been through. Misery loves company, they say, but I believe more often than not, we seek connections with those who have come out on the other side of their struggles with stories of hope.

We have to remember that we can't control what life throws our way or other people's behaviors. The only thing we have control over is our thoughts, and that's the game-changer.

Now, I know it's not easy.

We might want to indulge in anger or bitterness because we feel life has been unfair to us. And hey, it's okay to feel that way sometimes. But here's the thing, we get to choose our thoughts, and we get to choose how we respond to life's curveballs.

If we want to create a life better than before breast cancer, we need to release the thoughts that make us feel sick. And trust me, we all have those thoughts.

So, check out this episode, and let's work on releasing those thoughts, renewing our lives, and embracing the power we have to create a life that's better than before breast cancer.
