Breast Cancer, Stressors and Stress - How to Support Yourself When Life is Stressful
When you grow up in a world where you’re taught that other people embarrass you, hurt you, make you angry, etc. That translates into having no power over your emotions and living with a lot of stress.
But what if you could recognize circumstances for what they are and decide to regulate your emotions on purpose?
That’s when you start creating a life by design.
A life that’s better than before breast cancer™
In this episode, I’ll share my personal journey through a stressful day and the challenge of coming back to caring for myself in the middle of the storm.
I’ll walk you through the process I’ve learned to use to support myself and equally as important, how to know when you’re making yourself sick with stress so you can be there for yourself.

Creating A Life That's Better Than Before Breast Cancer With Intentional Joy
A diagnosis of breast cancer can change things for a long time after treatment has ended.
In fact, many life situations can derail you, pile on top of each other and one day you find yourself realizing that there’s very little joy, excitement, or fun in your life anymore.
That’s not a good feeling, but fortunately, there’s a lot you can do about it.
Creating time for fun and joy must be intentional.
Just like most other things, if it isn’t on the calendar, it isn’t going to happen.
Listen to this episode and hear about tools you can use to purposefully add time for joy in your life.
The healing power of happiness can’t be overstated, and the power of intention can change your life so that it’s better than before breast cancer.

The Fear Factor After Breast Cancer - How Headlines Leave Us More Confused and Afraid of Food
In this episode, we’ll dive into an issue that's been causing quite a bit of unnecessary worry among us, especially as breast cancer survivors. We're constantly bombarded with alarming headlines claiming that another everyday habit or food is suddenly a health hazard. I'm here to break down those fears and offer some clarity.
While it's crucial to stay informed, it's equally important to approach these headlines with a healthy dose of skepticism. I share my own frustration over how some studies are often exaggerated by the media, creating fear around lifestyle practices that are, more often than not, perfectly healthy.
I delve into how to recognize these misleading headlines and the importance of looking beyond them. I stress the need to consider the actual data behind these studies – which, as it turns out, often isn't as conclusive as it's presented. I encourage my breast cancer community not to let these fear-mongering tactics detract from our health and wellness journey.
Together, we can navigate through the sea of information with wisdom and grace, keeping our focus on thriving, not just surviving.

Breath of Fresh Air
This podcast is a breath of fresh air. Cancer blew up my life and I was in a state of shock but you have no time to deal with that during treatment. Once treatment ends you don’t know how to process it all. Plus, life will never be the same again both mentally or physically. This podcast suggest tools to rebuild yourself back up and meet yourself where you are at that day.
A lifesaver right now
I recently “finished” treatment for BC and have been feeling lost, and overwhelmed by trying to figure out how to move forward. I have been so grateful to come across this podcast, I feel incredibly understood and supported by everything Laura says. I am grateful for this resource.
Resonated with this podcast and woman so deeply!
Laura is a true soul that has a gift to guide and deconstruct all the thoughts, emotions and science surrounding breast cancer and help navigate a path through it all with a deep level of compassion and understanding. Her podcast was the first podcast I turned to when I was first diagnosed and it saved me. She is a gift to this world and her insights have truly helped me immeasurably!
