Send us a text Every moment counts. That's the lesson cancer taught me, and it's hitting home as I watch my son—now taller and stronger than me—prepare for his freshman year of high school. Since transforming this into a cancer-focused podcast, something unexpected happened. My inbox floods daily with pitches from authors, people who have had cancer, and researchers eager to share their stories. While I never planned an interview format, these voices deserve to be heard. Meanwhile, I've foun...
Send us a text My biggest cancer treatment regret was stopping physical activity. I was diligent about mental health through journaling but abandoned exercise which had always helped me through difficult periods. • Participating in a 9-month cancer exercise research study with structured fitness classes and group discussions • Learning that our bodies adapt differently to exercise after cancer and require modified training approaches • Discovering Dr. Kerry Cornia's profound statement: "If y...
Send us a text What goes through the mind of someone who has had cancer when they return to the cancer center for routine follow-ups? For many, these visits trigger a complex mix of emotions that healthcare professionals might not fully appreciate. Drawing from personal experience, this episode offers critical insights for oncologists, nurses, and support staff about improving patient care beyond the medical aspects of treatment. The psychological impact of cancer treatment lasts far beyond ...
Send us a text Have you ever had someone completely misunderstand what you're going through after cancer? That moment when a well-meaning comment reveals just how wide the gap is between their perception and your reality? When my nurse casually remarked I was "lucky" not to have periods anymore after chemotherapy, it sparked deeper reflection on how cancer forces our bodies onto timelines we never chose. That presumed "convenience" actually represents profound loss—the natural rhythms and fe...
Send us a text Watching my eighth-grader run the anchor leg of a relay race transformed into an unexpected mirror of my breast cancer journey. Despite being a full lap behind when he received the baton, my son never quit—he ran his heart out with no hope of winning. This powerful moment crystallized what life after cancer truly means. When treatment ends, many survivors feel perpetually "a lap behind" as we witness how the world continued spinning while our lives were on pause. Careers advan...

Send us a text The emotional landscape after cancer treatment catches many survivors off guard. What most people don't anticipate is how something as seemingly benign as a comment about growing hair can trigger a cascade of complex feelings. My experience walking down that cancer center hallway—gray, curly hair growing back after chemo, feeling like a stranger in my own body—revealed just how unprepared I was for the emotional aftermath of treatment. When that nurse called out "your ha...
Send us a text Words shape our reality, especially when facing life-altering diagnoses. My cancer journey began December 7th, 2021—terrible timing for a small business owner with three ventures heading into the holiday rush. But beyond the logistical nightmare was an unexpected challenge: finding language that authentically described my experience. Days after my diagnosis, while working alone in my shop trying to process genetic testing decisions, a well-meaning stranger approached. He insis...
Send us a text What happens when the place that saved your life becomes the trigger for your deepest trauma? Standing in the parking lot of my cancer center, just a mile from my home, my body betrays me with each visit—racing heart, metallic taste, nausea—physical reminders of the chemotherapy, radiation, and countless needle sticks that occurred within those walls. For three years following my breast cancer diagnosis, these "cancer days" dragged me into a predictable spiral of anxiety, depr...
Send us a text A profound shift is happening. After a decade of leading Hike Like a Woman, I'm transforming this platform into something deeply personal yet universally resonant. During a coffee conversation with a young military friend facing trauma, her question struck me to my core: "How do I move forward after something horrific?" While hiking solo through Moab's desert trails, the answer crystallized—my experiences with breast cancer, military service, and rebuilding life after trauma co...
