Is working hard, being responsible, always putting others first, overly-caring, people-pleasing, hiding your emotions--all the things we do to stay on top of things and in control--serving you? Or could it be harming you? Today’s guest is Karin Del Maestro, a Health & Transformation Coach who has been working in the health and wellness fields for 20+ years. But, it was after her own Breast Cancer and BRCA2 diagnosis in 2018 that she realized she was uniquely qualified to serve breast cancer survivors, helping them after treatment has ended, to get back their get-up-and-go, stop putting their needs on the back burner and nurture their courage to go out and create their best life yet! Karin specializes in working with Breast Cancer Survivors, Genetic Mutation Carriers & Healthy Lifestyle Seekers who readily focus their time and energy on their loved ones, but find it challenging to make time to take care of themselves.
