What does it really mean to take personal responsibility after cancer — and how do you do it without guilt or shame?

In this honest and empowering episode of the Besties with Breasties Podcast, hosts Sarah Hall and Beth Wilmes sit down with guest co-host Jessica, a teacher, athlete, and breast cancer survivor, to unpack what “taking control” looks like after treatment.

They dive into how trauma shapes us, what we can and can’t control, and how mindset, discipline, and grace work together in healing. It’s a conversation about self-compassion, empowerment, and finding peace after the storm.

You’ll hear:

• The real meaning of personal responsibility after cancer
• How to honor trauma without staying stuck in it
• Daily choices that help you rebuild confidence and joy
• Letting go of guilt, shame, and toxic self-blame
• Why you don’t need to do it all to take your power back

If you’re a breast cancer survivor, caregiver, or anyone navigating life after trauma — this episode will help you take your power back.
