About this listen

In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca Walker, a coach and podcast host, but also my very dear friend who has helped me personally so much over the years.

We talk about the power of friendship and support when navigating cancer and mental health challenges. We explore the emotional ups and downs of survivorship, the impact of anxiety and the role of friends.

Takeaways from our conversation:

Friendship can be a lifeline during tough times.

How coaching can help

Redefining success after cancer to embracing vulnerability

What it really means to be a supportive friend.

Cancer affects mental health just as much as physical health.

Sharing our stories helps us feel less alone.

What’s wrong with ‘assumptions’


This conversation is filled with wisdom, honesty, and hope. I can’t wait for you to listen!
