The difference is huge between living life or just surviving it after breast cancer treatments end. So many women get stuck in surviving life after treatments ends. This is completely normal. But it doesn't have to be the way you go through life. In this episode I dive into the differences and signs that you might be stuck in survival mode.

I see a lot of us humans using our best days to set the bar for our everyday. In this episode I talk about why this often backfires and why going for average is a more helpful way to go through life. I look at it through the lens of being post-treatment and using your life before breast cancer as a comparison point - and why that could be setting you up for misery. And I look at it through the lens of day-to-day life and goal setting.

In this episode I interview Kim, an OG member of the Survival is Insufficient program. She talks about what her biggest take aways from this program were. We also talk about her biggest struggle was actually something she was struggling with before she was diagnosed with breast cancer. This fact is true for over 50% of the women I work with.

Listen in to hear Kim's story of struggle to empowerment.

Are people in your circle talking about your breasts the way they talk about the weather? In this episode I talk about what you can do about it and also what might be going on with the other person.

Some women who receive an early-stage diagnosis struggle with accepting the title of breast cancer survivor. They feel like they didn't "earn" it. In this episode I talk about why this thought can be so harmful and unhelpful in the post-treatment phase.

When I hear a woman say "I miss me" after breast cancer treatments end, I know two things about her. She doesn't like her life now. And the "me" she misses is still there. In this episode I dive deeper into this thought and the results it creates.

In this episode, Dr. Amy Dore shares her breast cancer story - and it is quite a story! She offers up hope for women who are struggling with anxiety after treatments. And she shares some of her favorite tools that she gained during our time working together.

In this quick episode, I talk about the badge of honor many women who have gone through breast cancer feel they have earned. But sometimes that badge can block the work we need to do to be able to move forward more easily. For a more in-depth analysis of this concept, be sure to check out episode 84 - I Am Not a Breast Cancer Survivor.

In this episode, I tell a little story about how I believe there is a little bit of magic in the world. This is really about how what I teach is what I do. And the work this month on post-traumatic growth could not have come at a better time.

While many women struggle with thinking about the future after breast cancer because they are overcome with anxiety, others are in a rush to get to the future. In this episode I talk about how this mindset can be both helpful and unhelpful in your life.
