The Peaceful Plate: Ending Food Panic After Hormone-Driven Breast Cancer

Walking through the world in pink shoes is the way I describe how we, women who’ve had (or have) breast cancer, instantly connect with one another’s experience. I recently had the privilege of attending a breast cancer research fundraising event where pink was on full display and the food was plentiful. Tune in to hear how I navigated the groaning brunch tables and held space for my own breast cancer experience in the midst of 500 people collaborating to eradicate the need for any more breast cancer fundraising events.

The Pink Agenda

Do you ever skip fruits and vegetables, and then feel guilty or anxious about it? You’re not alone. When you don’t eat enough produce on a daily basis, it can make it harder to get the vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants your body needs, and the stress over “not eating right” can ramp up your food anxiety in a hot minute! In this episode, I explore why skipping produce can leave you feeling off balance, both physically and emotionally, and share practical tips for adding more fruits and vegetables in a way that feels doable and practical. You’ll also hear real-life examples about how I help my clients put more plants on their plates.

It’s true, women in the breast cancer community are curious about strict, rule-based eating plans promising to provide optimal treatment outcomes or prevent recurrence. Sadly, rather than deliver on what they promise, these diets create stress, anxiety, and confusion around food. The outcome? Diet abandonment, followed by guilt, shame and feeling like a failure. Not what you want from an eating plan, eh? In this episode, I explain why a “forever” eating plan, one that’s flexible, nourishing, and truly sustainable, is your key to eating with peace. . .forever.

Are you stuck in the constant loop of wondering “What should I eat? What should I avoid?” After treatment for breast cancer, it’s common to obsess over food choices, anxious that one wrong bite could trigger recurrence. In this episode I share why that obsession happens, the hidden costs it takes on your mind and body, and a new way forward that helps you begin to eat with confidence. If you’re ready to stop obsessing over every bite, this episode is for you.

It's Labor Day 2025 and I'm taking a little break! I'll be back next Monday with a new episode, but for today, I'm sharing one of my most popular episodes. If you're new to me you may have missed it, and if you heard it back in June of 2024, it's time for a refresher! Enjoy the episode and be sure to let me know your thoughts about it by leaving a review! Thanks :)_____________________________

Now that you’ve finished treatment, no doubt you want to know exactly what’s best to eat to reduce your recurrence risk. Because you’re led to believe there’s one single diet that will make that happen, it can feel frustrating not to find a consistent answer about what that diet looks like. In this episode I invite you to ask a different question; “What’s best for me to eat after hormone-driven breast cancer to end my panic about recurrence risk?”

Eating after hormone receptor-positive breast cancer treatment shouldn’t be a source of fear, shame, or endless second-guessing, and yet. . .so many survivors (maybe you, too?) find themselves trapped in that cycle. If you’ve ever felt anxious or guilty every time you sit down to eat, this episode will get you started eating with peace. Join me to explore how to rebuild a joyful, confident approach to meals. You’ll learn why it’s not about perfect eating, but about feeling calm, empowered, and nourished at meal and snack time.

You’ve asked your oncology team. You’ve tried the food lists, the cancer blogs, the survivor forums. And yet… your nutrition and diet questions still feel unanswered. Worse, no one seems to really get why you’re asking such “specific” questions in the first place. If you’re ready to learn why survivors are handed oversimplified advice, why you can’t get your questions answered, and the antidote to “just eat healthy”, this episode is a must-listen!

How often have you said this about your post-treatment diet, “I was doing so well, and then everything fell apart.”? If you’ve said it even once, this episode is for you. Today I’m talking about the exhausting pattern so many hormone receptor-positive breast cancer survivors fall into: eating super ‘clean,’ then slipping, then swinging back to strict rules out of fear, guilt, or shame. This isn’t a willpower issue, it’s a trauma-driven response to food and it’s incredibly common after hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. If you're tired of starting over, feeling stuck, or believing the problem is you, join me, because I’m sharing a secret. . .there is another way.

If you’ve ever sworn off sugar, felt totally “in control” for a while… then found yourself face-first in a bag of cookies, this episode is for you. I’m digging into why giving up sugar feels like the right move after hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, and why it almost always leads to guilt, cravings, and spirals. You’ll learn what’s really driving that all-or-nothing pattern, and how to take your power back without rigid rules, restriction, or shame.

Remember when you used to enjoy preparing meals for yourself and/or your family, baking up something delicious or trying new recipes? Even if you’re not a huge fan of cooking, I’m guessing there are a few meals/snacks you don’t mind putting together for yourself. But now that you’ve had breast cancer you’ve lost your joy of food; preparing it, choosing it, eating it. In this episode I dive into the reasons why and offer perspective on moving toward enjoying your food again!
