When Cancer Became the Wake-Up Call She Never Expected

Alexandra Simms thought she was living the perfect life - successful career, beautiful family, everything "right" on paper. Then breast cancer changed everything. In this raw and powerful conversation, Alexandra shares how her 2017 diagnosis became the turning point that forced her to stop people-pleasing, start healing, and finally live in alignment with who she really is. We talk about burnout, trauma, motherhood, and what it means to let something painful wake you up instead of break you! Listen to Alexandra's journey, how she created her podcast Cancer Cured Me, and why she believes life gives you one chance to get it right. #HealingJourney #HealingAfterCancer #MindsetShift   Key Takeaways: 00:00 Let's talk about life like it's a game 00:26 Welcome back to Boss Bitch Radio 00:29 Meet Alexandra Simms, host of Cancer Cured Me 01:27 What life looked like before her cancer journey 05:09 The diagnosis that changed everything 08:45 How "Cancer Cured Me" became a mindset shift 13:35 Exploring alternative healing and natural therapies 15:24 How breath work became part of her recovery 18:51 Breaking free from people pleasing 21:37 Meet Elsie and why boundaries matter 22:11 The real talk on health struggles and burnout 24:24 Alexandra's daily wellness routine 26:20 Healing naturally and finding peace after cancer 29:58 What's next her new projects and retreats 31:45 Human design, self-discovery, and personal growth 35:23 Her biggest lessons on living your best life 37:14 Wrapping it up - where to connect with Alexandra!   Links Mentioned:  If Alexandra's story hit home for you, don't stop here!
