Embracing Love: Three Steps to a Fulfilling Life After Breast Cancer
When you're asking yourself, what am I doing to support my health? And another reason why it's important to do this as a writing exercise is because if you only think about it in your head, if you listen to me, ask that question right now and you're listening to this podcast and you're just thinking about it, your mind, I guarantee, is going to go off on the tangent of either I already do everything I can or I don't want to give up certain things.
How do you move past the fear that often shadows a breast cancer diagnosis? Laura Lummer, the compassionate voice behind 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', offers an enlightening perspective in this episode. Drawing inspiration from Oprah Winfrey's idea that we're always moving toward love or fear, Laura encourages listeners to steer away from fear and towards self-love.
She introduces three simple yet transformative practices designed to help you rebuild trust with yourself, appreciate your body, and honestly evaluate your behaviors to create a healthier, more fulfilling life. Laura’s advice is grounded in practical steps like supporting your health through diet and exercise and fostering a daily gratitude practice. She shares a touching story about a Japanese man who achieved complete remission from stage four kidney cancer through meditation and self-love, illustrating the power of these practices.
Laura also highlights the importance of trusting your intuition and living intentionally but with an open mind. Instead of focusing on problems and fears, she urges listeners to look for solutions and opportunities. This episode is a heartfelt guide for anyone looking to turn fear into love and live a more intentional, fulfilling life after breast cancer.
