I'm a certified Life, Health, and Nutrition Coach, and a Terrain Certified Network Advocate living with stage 4 breast cancer. I help breast cancer survivors move past the trauma of a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, renew their bodies and minds, and regroup their lives, so they can create lives that are even better than before breast cancer.
Through my weekly podcast and my online coaching and courses, I guide women in supporting their metabolic health and discovering new ways of thinking so they can manifest the lives, relationships, and health they want and deserve.
I believe in supporting the body's ability to heal and focusing on self-compassion. In my own experience, I learned that fighting and healing don't go together, and when we choose to support healing, everything shifts and we can learn to love ourselves and our bodies, maybe for the first time.

How much of the exhaustion you are carrying right now is actually coming from reality... and how much is coming from a deadline you invented for yourself?

Most women never stop to ask that question. They just keep pushing. Keep measuring. Keep feeling like they are somehow falling short of a finish line that nobody else can even see.
What if that pressure has nothing to do with where you actually are, and everything to do with where you decided you were supposed to be by now?
Episode 464 is the permission slip a lot of women did not know they needed.

What if the thing causing the most suffering isn't where you are... but where you think you should be?
www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/464
After one of the most challenging health seasons I've experienced since my stage 4 diagnosis, I wanted to have an honest conversation about acceptance.
Not giving up.
Not settling.
Not pretending everything is okay.
I'm talking about releasing the struggle against reality and learning to meet yourself where you are.
So many of us carry invisible timelines.
We believe we should be healed by now.
Have more energy by now.
Feel like ourselves by now.
But who decided that?
This episode is about self-compassion, healing, letting go of unrealistic expectations, and finding peace in the season you're currently living through.

The integrative approach to health is not about rejecting Western medicine or going fully natural. It is about using every tool that genuinely supports the body, thoughtfully and safely.
Episode 314 breaks down what that actually looks like for women navigating life after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Sometimes the most helpful thing isn't new information — it's being reminded of what already works.
In this video, I'm sharing four episodes that carried me through one of the most physically difficult seasons I've experienced, two and a half months of constant pain, limited mobility, and a lot of uncertainty.
What got me through wasn't pushing harder. It was learning to rest without guilt, weave together everything that supports healing, stay present when life felt out of control, and protect my mental and emotional space every single day.
Wherever you are in your journey, one of these might be exactly what you need today.

The brain is not reacting to the world. It is predicting it. And those predictions shape everything.
Episode 463 explores why mindset work is the foundation of healing after a breast cancer diagnosis.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and change isn’t your body… but what your brain has been taught to believe is possible?
In this episode, I talk about why mindset work has been the most important part of my healing journey after breast cancer. Not toxic positivity. Not pretending everything is okay. But learning to question the beliefs I had inherited about illness, healing, aging, worthiness, and what was actually possible for my life.
Your brain is constantly making predictions based on your past experiences and conditioning. But those predictions are not permanent. They can change.

What if healing starts long before food, supplements, or exercise?
In episode 463 of the Better Than Before Breast Cancer podcast, I share what I honestly believe has been the most important part of supporting my healing after two breast cancer diagnoses and living with metastatic disease: mindset work.
Not toxic positivity.
Not pretending everything is fine.
But learning to honestly look at what I believed was possible for my body, my future, and my life and choosing to update those beliefs one thought at a time.
Because when you truly believe something is possible, the way you care for yourself changes completely.

What if the most important thing you could do for your healing has nothing to do with supplements or diets?
Listen here: www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/463
In this week’s episode, I’m sharing why mindset work has been the single most important part of my healing journey after breast cancer.
Not toxic positivity.
Not pretending hard things aren’t hard.
I’m talking about the work of noticing what you believe is possible for your body, your future, and your life.
Because our brains are constantly running predictions based on fear, conditioning, past experiences, and the stories we’ve been taught.
And if we don’t question those beliefs, they quietly shape everything from our stress levels to our habits to the way we care for ourselves.
This episode is about self-compassion, healing, neuroscience, and learning how to update the beliefs that may be keeping you stuck.
