The Sunday Self-Care Chronicles - Newsletter Archives
Welcome to the Sunday Self-Care Chronicles — my weekly love note to breast cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and anyone learning to care for their body (and heart) after diagnosis.
Each Sunday, I share a mix of personal reflections, practical tools, and honest education rooted in both professional experience and lived survivorship. These aren’t fluffy wellness tips — they’re real-world, body-focused strategies to help you feel more informed, more supported, and more like yourself again.
You can browse by category, revisit your favorites, or start wherever your nervous system says “yes.”
Let’s make this less scary together — one Sunday at a time.

So I gots the ADHD - Not severe, but real. This week: a new diagnosis, the strange relief of finally having a name for the noise, and what it taught me about survivorship, brain fog, and designing life for the body you actually have.

She called me out about a pink ribbon. My response wasn't safe for work.
When a networking contact shouted "Where is your pink ribbon?!" across a crowded room, I learned something loud and clear about who gets to tell my story. This week we explore Identity as the fifth fundamental of active healing: what it looks like to reclaim your own narrative when the world insists on wrapping you in pink, and how the As You Are Now program creates space for that inner work without the usual pink-ribbon script.
Same hands. Same car. Completely different drive.
A solstice reflection on how the same ordinary moment can mean something completely different depending on where you are in your healing.
Your Body Is Not Public Property
After breast cancer, conversations about bodily autonomy hit differently. This week’s issue unpacks that tension — and what it means to rebuild ownership from the inside out.
When communication IS self-care.
A reflection on communication, individuality, and community—because healing grows stronger when we create space for honesty, safety, and trust.
