Breaking Free from Shame: Laura Lummer’s Insights on Breast Cancer Recovery

Shame is tied to your worth and your value, and when you're in shame, you're telling yourself a story about your own self-worth, and that's why I think it's so important to address shame and how that plays a role in recovery from breast cancer and in living the life that you want to live.
Ever wonder why the end of cancer treatment doesn’t always feel like the end of the battle? Laura Lummer, the voice behind 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', gets it. As a two-time breast cancer survivor now living with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer, Laura knows that recovery is as much about the mind as it is about the body. In this episode, she tackles a topic many shy away from—shame.
That nagging feeling that somehow you’re to blame for your illness or that you’re less worthy because of it. Laura opens up about her own struggles with these thoughts and shares practical tips to help others break free from this emotional burden. She discusses how shame can sneak into your thoughts, affecting your self-worth and recovery, and offers strategies to retrain your brain to foster self-compassion.
Whether you're a survivor, a caregiver, or someone looking to support a loved one, Laura’s insights provide a compassionate guide to overcoming shame and embracing a fulfilling life post-diagnosis.
