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.

Meet The Survivorship Starting Point!
A meaningful milestone: an early invitation into my free breast cancer self-care “starter kit.” In this week’s Chronicle, I share why I created it, who it’s for, and how it’s meant to support the often-overlooked “after” part of a breast cancer experience.

What’s next from As We Are Now?!
A look ahead at what’s coming this spring at As We Are Now — from new survivorship resources to body-based self-care offerings — and the deeper “why” behind this next chapter of my work.
Spoiler: Your Body Doesn’t Care About Daylight Savings
Daylight Saving may snap your clocks into place, but your body? It does not care. This cozy, honest edition of the Sunday Self-Care Chronicles dives into seasonality, winter fatigue, and practical ways to support your post-cancer body when everything feels darker, colder, and slower.
