What happens after you ring the bell and the room goes quiet? We dig into that tender space where support fades, symptoms linger, and the question becomes: how do I actually heal now? 

We welcome Christine Bache on today's show—Ground & Root Coach, mom of three, and triple negative breast cancer survivor— to unpack the power of community as a core pillar of recovery and long-term prevention.

Christine walks us through her cancer journey and the shock of doing “everything right” beforehand yet still getting cancer. She shares the different holistic tools that helped in her recovery...including the importance of finding people who had walked the same path, who could validate the strange side effects her clinic hadn’t seen, and who shared tools that worked in real life. 

We talk about the difference between support groups that spiral into venting and spaces designed for healing—rooms where hard feelings are welcome, then gently guided toward action. Expect candid insights on how validation calms the nervous system, why belief shapes behavior, and how simple practices like acupuncture, walking, journaling, prayer, and nutrition build momentum when you’re rebuilding from the inside out.
