Episode 9: Compare and Despair

June 08, 2021 10:00 - 21 minutes - 15 MB

It is easy to coach on Compare and Despair when helping clients to propel them into living their best lives, but when it trickles up with a chronic health condition or something like metastatic breast cancer, we too can fall into the trap of comparing our health journey to another.  Our minds and stories don't change overnight, even with MBC.  In this episode I get vulnerable and admit, even with working my own stuff, this still comes to the surface. My favorite part of the episode is when...

Salamander Crossing and Support Systems

April 06, 2021 10:00 - 14 minutes - 9.9 MB

This is Part 1 in a 3-part series where I use a story about helping salamanders cross the road and how it relates to disrupting choice and a path when it comes to support and caregivers while on a metastatic breast cancer journey. I wondered if by being the helper of others all of the time, picking them up and carrying them along is helpful or disrupts their own path and process of choosing.  The first step in choosing a path is to first go inward to figure out which option you want and the...
