Let’s be upfront about life after cancer treatment. 

It can be difficult to adapt to life after a breast cancer diagnosis and beyond. In this episode, Charlotte explains challenges in the experience of re-entering work and other obligations after cancer treatment, the common drop in self-confidence, and the importance of purpose and meaning. Just like physical stamina, strength, and capacity, we decondition psychologically much faster than we recondition. 

Charlotte shares strategies including repetition that allow a sense of progression and success that can then act as a motivator.
