How Are You, Really | The Cancer Journey Podcast | Episode 107What does trust actually mean when you're on a cancer journey - and why do so many people feel unseen even when they're surrounded by people trying to help them?In Episode 107 of the Cancer Journey Podcast, Shariann and Alicia explore two of the most powerful tools in Cancer Journey Coaching: trust and powerful listening. They dig into what it really takes to build trust with someone going through one of the hardest experiences of their life, why feeling heard is directly connected to healing, and what shifts when someone finally asks - not "how are you?" but "how are you, really?"This episode is for anyone on a cancer journey, supporting someone who is, or working in a space where the emotional side of cancer often goes unaddressed.Chapters: 0:00 — Welcome and PESH check-in 2:45 — What is trust?
