Life after breast cancer: finding balance, confidence, and hope
When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016, my world felt like it had turned upside down. Between surgery, chemotherapy, and countless hospital appointments, it was easy to slip into fear and exhaustion. What made the biggest difference for me was connection. Meeting others who had walked a similar path helped me see that hope and healing were possible, even on the hardest days.
Connection gave me three vital things:
- A sense of belonging, knowing I was not alone. Hearing from women with similar cancers helped me feel less anxious and more confident about the future.
- A reminder that life could still include normal, uplifting activities outside the hospital. Coffee catch-ups, gentle walks, or even laughing about everyday things gave me optimism and a sense of normality.
- Inspiration from others who were further along in their recovery. Their stories became guideposts that helped me navigate those “yucky” days when fatigue and emotions were heavy.
As I slowly rebuilt my life, I discovered three practices that supported me to move from burnout to balance: calming my nervous system, nourishing my body, and creating healthier sleep patterns. These simple shifts were powerful stepping stones that gave me back my energy, clarity, and hope.
That is why I am inviting you to join me this October for a special evening talk at Queenstown Natural Health:
From Burnout to Balance: Three Practices That Changed My Life After Breast Cancer
Thursday, 9 October, 5.30pm
Queenstown Natural Health
This will not just be another talk. It is a chance to connect with others who “get it”, to share space with people who understand the challenges, and to leave with practical tools you can use right away.
As a gift, everyone who attends will also receive a free 30-minute one-to-one chat with me. Together, we will design your own recovery blueprint so you can take confident next steps in your healing journey.
Partial proceeds from this event will go directly to the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, so by attending you are not only investing in your wellbeing, you are also helping others.
If you are longing for connection, encouragement, and practical strategies to support recovery, I would love to see you there. Come along, bring a friend, and be reminded that you do not have to walk this path alone.
