    13. Episode 100: The Power Of Meditation & Visualization

      This week, we celebrate 100 episodes of "I'm Still Here" and one year of podcasting! Heather and Larry kick off the episode by sharing some listener statistics with you.

      To mark this special occasion, we have created a guided meditation and visualization that we would like to share with you. After Heather's diagnosis, she discovered immense relief through meditation and visualization. This process enables us to break down barriers, expand our minds, and release negativity.

      Your thoughts truly matter and can make a difference.

      Be the one.

        • Episode 95: Cancer and Motherhood

          In honor of Mother's Day, Heather and Larry dedicate this week to acknowledging and supporting women who may not have had the chance to fulfill their dream of starting a family due to cancer. They delve into the experience of being a mother faced with a cancer diagnosis.

          When Heather received her cancer diagnosis, her daughter Sydney was only 14 months old. The treatment she underwent eliminated the possibility of having more children. Heather candidly shares the emotions she felt upon hearing the news that she wouldn't be able to conceive again.

          They explore the various options available for expanding one's family after cancer treatment, which ultimately led them to consider adoption. They delve into the challenges and joys of parenting while undergoing treatment.
