After facing something as life-changing as cancer, you shouldn’t have to apologise for needing flexibility, setting boundaries, or asking for what you deserve. But many women find that when they return to work, their confidence in speaking up feels smaller than ever.

In this week’s episode of Confidence After Cancer, Gabby explores how to rebuild your voice at work — not through confrontation, but through calm, clear, and consistent communication. She introduces her three Cs of confident communication — Clarity, Calmness, and Consistency  and offers real-life examples of how to speak up for yourself in everyday situations.

From saying no to extra tasks without guilt, to setting boundaries around work hours, and reclaiming space in meetings, this episode will remind you that advocacy is not about being loud it’s about honouring your worth.

Because every time you speak up for yourself, you’re sending your body and mind a powerful message:

I’m safe now. I can trust myself again.

• Why confidence in communication often dips after cancer treatment
• The three Cs of confident communication: clarity, calmness, and consistency

Confidence isn’t just about what you say yes to,  it’s about learning when to say no.

In this week’s episode of Confidence After Cancer, Gabby explores what she calls the art of the selective yes: how to protect your energy, your time, and your peace by saying yes only to what truly serves you.

Drawing on her own experience as a recovering people-pleaser, Gabby reflects on why so many women find it difficult to say no — especially after cancer, when gratitude and guilt often blend together. Through gentle guidance and practical steps, she shares how to break the habit of overcommitting, make decisions that align with your values, and reclaim your energy without apology.

You’ll also discover her simple three-step filter for your next yes:

1. Does it align with my values?
2. Do I have the energy for it?
3. Does it move me towards thriving?

If the answer isn’t a full-body yes, it’s probably a no.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• Why we say yes too often (and how to break the habit)
• How people-pleasing drains your energy and confidence
• The three questions to ask before saying yes
• Practical ways to pause before agreeing to something
• How to replace guilt with gratitude
• Why every no creates space for your best yes

Hello lovely — it’s Gabby here from Confidence After Cancer!

This week, we’re talking about one of my favourite forms of self-care: decluttering — not just for a tidy home, but for the emotional space, energy, and freedom it brings.

Just like the trees release their leaves in autumn, it’s time to let go of what no longer serves you — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

In this uplifting episode, you’ll discover:

🍂 Why autumn is the perfect season to reset and release

✨ The surprising emotional benefits of letting go

👚 How I recycled old clothes and supported a local business in the process

🧭 My simple “Moving Out Method” — the easiest way to beat procrastination and declutter fast

Ask yourself: If I were moving tomorrow, would I pack this and take it with me?

If not, maybe it’s time to release it and make space for something new.

✨ Remember: every time you let go, you create room for more joy, freedom, and calm.

If you’ve been holding on to clutter — in your home or in your heart — this episode will help you take the first step toward lightness, clarity, and a fresh new chapter.

👉 Listen now, and then message me: What’s one thing you’re ready to let go of today?
