Episode 58 Shownotes - A Compelling Reason to Live Healthy
You are listening to Best Life After Cancer, Episode Number 58. Today, I will talk about my “why” that helps me follow my plans for healthy eating and limiting alcohol. This is a necessary step to help you create a plan and stick to it!
Hey, friends! We are just getting home today from a week in Maine with my parents, my family, and my brother and his family. We have gone to the same place in Maine every year since I was born, and I think I only missed 2 summers - one during medical school, and one when I was pregnant with the twins - they were born in August, and before that, I was too uncomfortable to sit in the car for 9 hours, and after, we were trying to survive newborns! We did go when Miles was born, also in August. We went up when he was only 10 days old, which I have to say was maybe a bit crazy. This annual tradition is part of what keeps me centered and whole - a respite of sorts. 10 days, no tv, no...
Episode 57 Shownotes - Living as Your Future Self (aka Fake It Til You Make It!)
You are listening to Best Life After Cancer, Episode Number 57. Today we are talking mindset and a technique to help get you in the right headspace.

We were recently talking about how different families spend money, how they eat, how they spend their free time. It was interesting, because we look at families we know that are super fit, thin, and spending quality time together often and as often as not, outside doing something cool. We compared this to those we know that are couch potatoes, usually not doing things as a family and not eating a healthy diet.

Episode 43 Shownotes - The 50/50 of Every Human Life
Hey, my friends. Welcome, welcome. When this airs, I will just be getting back from a hiking trip with my family for the kids’ spring break. If you have listened to prior podcasts, you will know that I have a huge wanderlust and a bucket list of 25 epic trips in 25 years. Most of the trips on the list are outside of the US. But, even though my husband and I are vaccinated, my kids are not, and there are major restrictions in travel outside of the US still, so this spring break was one that we decided to stay local and do some hiking. It’s a good time to be away from crowds and 4 teen boys can carry good packs. I’ll share some pictures in the Facebook group of our adventures. I have to admit, I was hoping to complete our Patagonia trip that got cancelled at the start of the pandemic. Even though we had insurance, our trip was not reimbursed, but we got a credit to use within a year. Well, here it is, a year later, and the borders are still closed, so it’s...
