What if being grateful for your life doesn't mean you have to stop wanting more? After celebrating six years of living with metastatic breast cancer, I found myself back in the hospital, facing another health setback. And while I've had to put some of my biggest plans on hold this year, my desire to speak, teach, and help more women hasn't gone away. But I started wondering, shouldn't I just be grateful to be alive? Is it okay to still want more? In this episode, I'm sharing what I've learned about the difference between giving up on a dream and finding a different way to reach it. We talk about gratitude, ambition, living with uncertainty, and why respecting your body's needs doesn't mean abandoning the life you want to create. You can be grateful for everything you have and still give yourself permission to want more.   Resources Mentioned: Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health    Let's Connect!

What happens when you're told you have 12 months or less to live, and six years later, you're still here? On October 11, 2020, I received a stage four metastatic breast cancer diagnosis. Six years later, I'm celebrating being here, continuing to live, grow, and believe in healing. In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing how my relationship with cancer has changed, why I've been working to let go of the identity of being a cancer patient, and what it means to choose love over fear when making decisions about my health. We talk about belief, manifestation, medical care, daily mindset practices, financial abundance, and the importance of receiving support. I'm also sharing the vision I hold for a future celebration of having no evidence of disease. Believing in healing doesn't mean the journey will be easy or that there won't be setbacks. It means choosing how you want to live while you continue to show up for yourself.   Resources Mentioned: Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health    Let's Connect!

What if life after breast cancer could be more than just getting back to normal? This week, I'm joined by four incredible women I've coached for more than six years. They've experienced different stages of breast cancer, different challenges, and different paths to healing. But they all have something powerful in common: they've learned how to create lives they love after diagnosis. We talk about the emotional aftermath of breast cancer, learning to set boundaries, trusting yourself with difficult decisions, and discovering that taking care of yourself isn't selfish. From choosing reconstruction eight years after diagnosis to learning how to live fully with metastatic breast cancer, these women share what it really looks like to move forward. You don't have to go back to who you were before breast cancer. You get to decide who you want to become next.   Meet the Women: Avril shares how changing her thoughts transformed her relationship with breast cancer. Robin Scalzo shares how she learned to value herself, set boundaries, and create a healthier life. Linda Ford shares why healing doesn't have a deadline and why it's okay to change your mind. Sherry Henderson shares how she continues to find purpose, connection, and hope while living with metastatic breast cancer.   Resources Mentioned: Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health    Let's Connect!

What happens when treatment ends, the scans are clear, and everyone expects you to feel grateful… but you don't feel like yourself anymore? My guest this week is Jondrea Phelps, a breast cancer survivor, author, speaker, coach, and founder of JP Empowerment and Flatties Wear. After her breast cancer diagnosis, mastectomy, treatment, and being told she was cancer-free, Jondrea discovered that the "after" of breast cancer can bring its own grief, fear, anger, identity changes, and uncertainty. We talk about what it means to stop trying to get back to normal, how HypnoBreathwork® helped Jondrea process what she was carrying, and why healing can be about moving forward into a new version of yourself. You don't have to pretend everything is okay just because you made it through.   Meet Jondrea: Jondrea Phelps is a breast cancer survivor, author, speaker, coach, and founder of JP Empowerment and Flatties Wear. After walking through her own breast cancer diagnosis, mastectomy, treatment, and the complicated emotional aftermath of being told she was cancer-free, she discovered that healing doesn't end when the scans are clear. Through JP Empowerment, Jondrea supports women navigating the "after" of breast cancer, the part that doesn't always get talked about. The identity shifts. The grief. The anger. The fear. The disconnection from a body that may look and feel completely different. And the pressure to simply be grateful that you survived. Using HypnoBreathwork®, Jondrea helps women move beyond only talking about their pain and begin to physically release what they've been carrying. Her approach is honest, compassionate, and refreshingly no-b******t: you are not broken, you don't need to be fixed, and you don't have to pretend everything is okay just because you made it through. She is also the founder of Flatties Wear, an adaptive clothing brand created to help women feel seen, comfortable, and empowered in bodies that have changed after breast cancer. Jondrea's message is simple: Your pain is not the end of your story. It can become a doorway back to yourself and into a life that feels like yours again.   Her book: Sh*t Happens, Breathe Through it: Practical tips for the Challenges Life Throws at You. https://link.amazon/B0jaexEW0 Her Website: http://jpempowerment.biz/ Instagram: @jondrea_Phelps Women to Watch Panel: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-woman-youre-becoming-is-waiting-on-one-decision/id1461493937?i=1000784496397   Resources Mentioned: Download for Iphone.

What if October, the month that can feel like it belongs to everyone but us, held something just for you? Every single day of October, a woman living with metastatic breast cancer is being handed $500, no application, no criteria, no proof of need, just to go do something that makes her feel alive. My guest this week is Elissa Kalver, diagnosed 34 days before her daughter's first birthday, who started the world's first nonprofit gift registry for cancer patients from her fifth round of chemo. You deserve to live, not only to stay alive. This one is an invitation to let yourself believe that.

How many times have you said, or heard yourself think, I did all the things? We follow the protocols, take the supplements, change the food, and quietly believe that if we just do it well enough, we will be safe. So what happens when the body does something we did not sign up for anyway? In this episode, I sit with three truths that sound heavy at first and actually set a lot of us free. The goal is not to convince yourself that nothing bad will happen. It is to become the woman who knows she can live fully without knowing what comes next.   Resources Mentioned: Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health    Let's Connect!

When the scan comes back clear, does the thought of cancer actually leave with it? For so many of us, the answer is no. The disease can be gone from the body while the identity of being a person with cancer quietly stays behind. This episode started with a question a friend asked me over dinner, one that made me look closely at what really happens to who we are after a diagnosis. Cancer can be something you are managing without being the identity you are living from.   Resources Mentioned: Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health    Let's Connect!

Why is it that you can know exactly what would help you feel better, and still not do it? You already know to eat real food, to move your body, to rest. Knowledge was never the missing piece. So what is? In this episode, I share the moment I realized I needed a lifeline, and the thing I come back to again and again: lasting change is not built on willpower. It is built on quietly becoming the person who can hold the thing you say you want. You do not need another rule. You need to become the person the rule was never able to create.   Resources Mentioned: Take the free Sugar Challenge here:  https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/sugar Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health    Let's Connect!

How do you know whether it is time to push forward, hold steady, or give yourself permission to stop? Most of us never ask. We just keep pressing, adding the next hard thing, without checking whether we have the reserves to carry it. In this episode, I borrow a simple idea from metabolic wellness and show you how it maps onto the way we live, and I get honest about what it looked like to let myself pause without guilt. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is make space.   Resources Mentioned: Join the Living Well After Breast Cancer Community: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/offers/iEbrAWpd/checkout Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US   Let's Connect!

Some seasons feel less like a smooth path and more like a dark little roller coaster you did not buy a ticket for. I am recording this one from the middle of a wild stretch, and I decided to bring you along honestly, right where I am. I share the health scare that landed me somewhere I did not plan to be, and I do not tidy any of it into a neat lesson. What I really want to talk about is the difference between believing you need fixing because you are broken, and choosing to grow because you simply want more of your life. Your life can be a wild ride and still be one you are grateful to be on.   Resources Mentioned: Join the Living Well After Breast Cancer Community: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/offers/iEbrAWpd/checkout Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US   Let's Connect!

Have you ever looked at another woman's life and felt that quiet ache of why her and not me? Most of us have, and most of us judge ourselves for it before we ask what that feeling is really pointing to. In this episode, I open up about a recent day when I was just plain tired of being the person with cancer. I let myself feel it honestly, without rushing to a gratitude list, and then I found the question underneath it that actually moved me forward. We look at what jealousy and envy are often hiding, why they are not the character flaws we assume, and how believing someone else simply had it easier can quietly protect us from taking a single step toward what we want. I also walk through the difference between an explanation and an excuse, because one keeps the door open and the other closes it. You will leave with a simple process you can use the next time comparison shows up. Her success does not take anything from you. Your life is still yours to build, right where you are standing.   Resources Mentioned: Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health  Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US   Let's Connect!

Have you ever said you wanted one thing, while quietly holding on to the very habits that keep it out of reach? Most of us have. We say we want peace and then overcommit. We say we want joy but promise ourselves we'll feel it later. This episode releases during a rare stretch of the year, and I want to walk into it with you. Then we turn it inward. Where in your life are you saying one thing and living another? This is a space free of judgment, only honesty and kindness, and the chance to choose again. Because just because you cannot see the change yet does not mean nothing is moving.   Referenced in this episode: NASA's August 2026 skywatching guide:  https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/whats-up-august-2026-skywatching-tips-from-nasa/ NASA's eclipse information:  https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/total-solar-eclipse-on-august-12-2026/ Six-planet observing guide:  https://starwalk.space/en/news/planetary-alignment-august-12-2026   Resources Mentioned: Get your FREE Lion's Gate Intentional Energy Reset Guide: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/lion Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health  Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US   Let's Connect!

What if being disease-free isn't the same as being healthy? Many of us think we're healthy as long as our scans look good or our lab work falls within normal ranges. But health is much bigger than a diagnosis. In this episode, I share a different way to think about disease, health, and healing, and why the choices you make every day have a powerful influence on how well your body functions and how you experience your life after breast cancer.   Resources Mentioned: The Feel Good Reset: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/feelgood Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health  Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US   Let's Connect!

Have you ever told yourself you'd get to it later, when there was more time, more money, more room? Most of us have. And most of us never stop to ask what the waiting is costing us. There is a question your brain reaches for first when you think about changing something in your life, and it is almost always the wrong one. In this episode, I offer you a different question, one that shifts everything from what you might lose to what you are willing to build. We look at why healthy changes so often fail to stick, and it has nothing to do with willpower. I also share research on why women stop investing in their own care, and a moment with a client living with stage four disease that changed how I think about planning a future. If money is genuinely tight, I name real organizations that exist to help, and one resource almost no one uses. Where did we learn that taking what we need means taking it from someone else? Your life is being built right now, between breakfast and lunch today.   Resources Mentioned: Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health  Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US   Let's Connect!

When was the last time you let yourself want something without immediately talking yourself out of it? So many of us learned early on to keep ourselves small. Then a diagnosis arrives, and that quiet voice telling you not to ask for too much gets even louder. Have you ever found yourself making silent deals, promising to be content with less as long as you get to stay? I overheard a conversation at my kitchen table more than forty years ago that shaped what I believed I was allowed to want. What would it feel like to spot that same voice in your own life and realize it was never telling you the truth? This episode gives you a way to hold your gratitude and your wanting in the same two hands, without guilt and without apology. And let me be clear about what this is not. No one is sick because she did not believe hard enough. You will leave with one simple exercise you can do in five minutes today. Your life is allowed to be full. Your wanting is allowed to be loud.   Resources Mentioned: Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health  Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US   Let's Connect!
