There is nothing wrong with supporting mental health.
Imagine surviving breast cancer only to find yourself grappling with an unexpected emotional whirlwind. Laura Lummer, host of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', knows this struggle all too well. In this episode, she dives into the often overlooked mental health challenges that come after breast cancer treatment.

She addresses the stigma that surrounds mental health, especially for women who've battled breast cancer, and emphasizes that there's no shame in treating emotional wounds just as we treat physical ones.

Whether you're a survivor, a caregiver, or someone interested in mental health, this episode offers a compassionate and practical guide to navigating the emotional aftermath of breast cancer.
