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.
A lesson from my annual tax meltdown
This week’s issue explores the difference between reactive “panic sprints” and small, steady consistency. A tax-day confession turns into a reflection on proactive care — and why tending to your body (and your life) in little bits often works better than heroic bursts of effort.
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.
Am I allowed to want more than just survival?
This week’s issue explores what happens when survival is treated as the finish line — and what gets lost when quality of life is left out of the conversation.
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.
An unusual prescription for a greater kind of pain.
In moments of collective pain and personal overwhelm, it can be hard to know where to place our energy — or whether what we offer is enough. This reflection explores the intersection of illness, humanity, and giving, and shares a simple practice that has helped me reconnect with hope when the world feels too heavy.
