From Diagnosis to Empowerment: Lessons from Breast Cancer Survivor | #211

In this deeply grounding and empowering episode of the UpliftHer Leadership Series, I had the honor of sitting down with Jacqueline Beatty; corporate leader, devoted mother, yoga and Pilates practitioner, and a true embodiment of resilience, intentional living, and quiet strength.Through a recent battle with breast cancer, Jacqueline discovered that high performance is not about pushing harder, it’s about staying connected to yourself while you rise.✨ In this powerful conversation, we explored:✅ Jacqueline’s breast cancer journey from diagnosis through treatment to healing and remission✅ The emotional and physical realities of chemotherapy, surgery, and visible change✅ What it means to release control and trust life when outcomes are uncertain✅ Navigating motherhood during illness and supporting children through difficult conversations✅ How children process illness differently and the importance of honesty and clarity✅ The power of intentional living and choosing purpose and joy daily✅ Building non-negotiable self-care rituals during treatment and recovery✅ Forest bathing, walking meditations, and the science of nature as healing✅ Why morning routines, affirmations, and gratitude journaling anchor resilience✅ Reframing high performance through wellbeing and sustainable leadership🎧 Listen to the Self-Care Goddess Podcast on my website, Apple, Spotify, @AmazonMusicUK or wherever you enjoy your podcasts✨ Connect with Jacqueline Beatty: @jacquelinebeatty.lotusjourney🎥 Watch the full episode on YouTubeWith deep gratitude…for your presence… your time… and your heart.#intentionalliving #womeninleadership #resilience #selfcare #healingjourney #personalgrowth✨ Welcome to the Rita Savoia YouTube Channel - your sanctuary for breath, balance & becoming.
