Episode 163 - Bonus Friday Episode - Something exciting is happening….

Welcome to a very special bonus edition of The Menopause and Cancer Podcast. I’m Dani Binnington — cancer survivor, menopause advocate, and founder of Menopause and Cancer — and today marks the start of something I’ve been quietly working on for years.In this episode, I’m inviting you behind the scenes of my brand-new book, Navigating Menopause After Cancer. This book didn’t just appear overnight — in fact, the journey started back in 2018, when I first signed with a literary agent and began dreaming of putting everything I’d learned into one place.Over the next few Fridays, I’ll be sharing the real, unfiltered story of how this book came to life. From the challenges of getting published (and why I don’t think any traditional publisher would have taken this on), to the decision to self-publish, and even the surprising story behind the book’s cover — designed by a woman from our own community.If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to turn lived experience into something that can help others — or you're just curious about what didn’t make it into the final version — this mini-series is for you.I’m so glad you’re here.Episode Highlights: 00:00 Intro02:45 Cancer diagnosis whilst living in Austria on a gap year05:28 Becoming a yoga teacher and creating a local community10:30 First book proposal13:12 Loss of confidence after surgeryMentioned in this episode:Substack: https://danibinnington.substack.com/
