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 is so common. If you want to feel like there is something you have control over to decrease recurrence, but are unsure what, I hear this so often. If you are living in fear,...
Episode 2 Shownotes - The Difference Between Thoughts and CIrucumstances
Hello, and welcome back! This is episode 2 of Living Your Best Life after Cancer. Today we are going to discuss the differences between thoughts and circumstances, and I will talk about a way to think about things that can give you some comfort. But first, did you try the technique of allowing negative emotions from last week? If you missed that one, maybe go and listen to it first, as what I am about to tell you will make SO much more sense. I was thinking after the podcast about one of the places that in the past I have really resisted emotions. As I mentioned last time, I have 4 kids, but what I didn’t mention is that I have a fear of something happening to both me and my husband, leaving them without parents. I also have a huge fear of flying. That may surprise some of the people listening to this who know me, because that fear doesn’t stop us from having epic adventures.
