Ep 117 - Becoming You: The Journey Between Who You Were and Who You’re Becoming

Does this resonate? “I am at that awkward stage where my old self is gone but my new self hasn’t fully been born”.This episode is crucial. We're not here to solve a single symptom, but to tackle a deeper issue many of us face.I get it — many of us long for our pre-cancer lives. But I believe we can aim for something even better.It's not just about easing physical symptoms or trying to reclaim who you were before cancer. The truth is, you're in transition. Cancer has changed you and your life, and you’re likely making other changes as well.In this episode, I’ll guide you through the process of embracing post-cancer survivorship with open eyes. We’ll explore the stages of transition — letting go, mourning who you once were and how you thought life would unfold, and moving toward discovery and dreaming up a new version of yourself.Stay tuned until the end, when I’ll lead you through a short but powerful meditation!Episode Highlights: 00:00 Intro.04:18 Menopause and cancer journey creates unexpected community.12:20 Reflect on changes and transitions after cancer.15:40 Reflect on transition, acknowledge, mourn, and heal.19:58 Transition to menopause and cancer, finding purpose.22:02 Yoga strengthened me during cancer recovery.25:55 Short meditation.28:00 Embracing menopause after cancer treatment: feeling ready?32:24 Reflect, appreciate progress, and look forward.Connect with us:For more information and resources, visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerFind us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingMenopauseAfterCancer Join my NEW blog ‘Still Becoming’ on Substack: https://substack.com/@danibinnington?...Buy my book ‘Navigating Menopause After Cancer’: https://amzn.eu/d/07dUoYBbJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub
