So I hope now, when you hear that word normal come out of your mouth, you know once you've listened to something and you've been exposed to a new idea, I think it in itself creates more awareness of when you're using a certain kind of language or a certain kind of behavior.
Ever wondered what it truly means to feel alive after breast cancer treatment? Laura Lummer, a two-time breast cancer survivor and host of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', dives deep into this question in episode #154. Laura challenges the notion of returning to 'normal' and instead encourages listeners to embrace a mindset that focuses on feeling alive and vibrant.
Drawing from her own journey with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer, she shares personal reflections and practical advice on how to navigate this complex transition. Laura talks candidly about the pressures of wanting life to return to how it was before the diagnosis. She highlights the importance of celebrating small victories and being present in the moment. One of her key messages is to shift focus from what you can't do to what you can.
For instance, Laura recounts a moment in an exercise class where she chose to appreciate her participation and effort rather than dwell on her limitations. This episode isn't just about surviving; it's about thriving. Laura emphasizes the value of gratitude, presence, and self-compassion in building a life that's not just normal but better than before. She also addresses the common struggle with negative self-talk and self-judgment, offering strategies to combat these mental hurdles.
So if you're looking to move beyond mere survival and truly feel alive again, this episode is a must-listen. Laura's insights and experiences provide a roadmap for anyone seeking to transform their post-cancer life into one filled with growth, joy, and fulfillment.
