Episode 137 - Rebuilding Confidence and Self-Esteem
Description
Feel like you’ve lost your confidence since cancer treatment induced menopause? In this empowering episode, I want to explore the journey of rebuilding confidence after cancer treatment and through menopause. Lack of confidence and loss of self-worth is something we are all too familiar with as we navigate life after cancer and of course the lack of hormones play a part too.
I dive into how these life-altering experiences can challenge your sense of self and provide practical tools to help you rise above self-doubt and embrace your strengths.
From managing body image struggles to finding your voice again, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you thrive.
Whether you’re navigating treatment-induced menopause, recovering from cancer, or supporting someone on this journey, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about overcoming challenges and rediscovering the amazing person you are.
