Breast cancer survivor Jamie Vaughn joined coaches Bonnie and Remi on the show this week to discuss what it's like to have breast cancer and what to do to make sure you catch it early. Statistically, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Catching it early is the key to overcoming it. Make sure to be your own advocate always advising when something isn't right and asking for what you need.

This week Coaches Bonnie Blackstone and Remi Gibbs chat with Joy Stone who is an Anxiety Coach, Positive Psychology Practitioner, and Yoga Psychology Practitioner. Joy teaches that anxiety is focused on yesterday and tomorrow with the present moment being where peace resides. Most of us lose sight of our true selves and have to work at reconnecting. This is best found through meditation. Your brain is an evidence-finding machine, not fact-finding. What you already think, believe, and feel is your story—even if it's not. Nothing is missing in you. Forgive yourself for any misunderstandings.
