So thankful!
This was the first podcast I found 18 months ago when I was diagnosed with TNBC. It was been a Godsend. Every concern I had was addressed in your episodes and I always felt like my girlfriends were the ones sharing with me and encouraging me. You have encouraged me to live a positive, clean lifestyle and to know that there is life after breast cancer! Thank you both so much!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S6E20: What Breast Cancer Taught Me About Grief, Loss, and Finding Hope

Q: I always struggle with this idea that suffering has a purpose because I just don't know that it does. You know what I mean? Like when people are like, oh, things happened for a reason or, you know, suffering is, you know, are there things that can come out of suffering?

Jess says suffering can bring a new appreciation for life after someone begins to come through it, though that perspective is difficult to find during the suffering itself.

S6E20: What Breast Cancer Taught Me About Grief, Loss, and Finding Hope

Q: So what does that grief feel like? Because I have not yet processed a loss of that magnitude yet. Do you immediately just go numb?

Jess says the loss initially felt shocking and surreal, and took a long time to sink in. Being far from where her brother died and having nowhere to go made it harder to find closure.

S6E19: I Survived Cancer. Can We Survive Betrayal? A Conversation About Rebuilding Intimacy

Q: Do you think that if somebody cheats, they should come clean with their partner?

Yes, the partner who cheated needs to take ownership of their actions and the choices that led to the affair, but the betrayed partner should not be blamed for the affair itself; healing requires honesty and creating a safe environment for talking.

S6E7: What He Really Thought When She Said “I Had Breast Cancer”

Q: How important is intimacy and how do you navigate changes caused by treatment?

Maintain regular communication, acknowledge changes in libido and side effects, and work together to keep emotional and physical closeness a priority.

S6E7: What He Really Thought When She Said “I Had Breast Cancer”

Q: What do you think is the best way for someone with a cancer history to approach dating with a new partner?

Be honest and open, share early on, and keep the conversation ongoing so both people understand what they're signing up for and can decide if the relationship fits.
