  • Today, we tackle the complex topic of toxic positivity, especially as it relates to cancer survivors. I break down how well-meaning advice like “stay positive” can sometimes feel more like a burden than support.

    We explore the cultural obsession with always staying upbeat and how it might dismiss the very real emotions of grief, anger, and fear that survivors experience.

    Think about it—between morning showers, skincare routines, and all those everyday products, we could be layering on dozens, even hundreds, of chemicals without a second thought.

    We’ll chat about which ingredients to look out for and how to find alternatives that protect rather than harm.

  • This week, I’m tackling a serious issue that’s close to my heart: the support available for employees dealing with cancer treatment and recovery.

    I share my own experiences, highlighting both the positive and negative ways companies handle this issue. It's clear that with one in two people likely to face a cancer diagnosis, organisations need to do better.

    Many companies don’t have tailored policies or proper training for managers, which leads to inconsistent support for employees.

    We need to advocate for better adjustments and understanding in the workplace so that cancer survivors can successfully reintegrate without feeling like they’re struggling alone.

    Here are the highlights:

  • In this week’s episode, I'm chatting about something really close to my heart—finding your tribe after a cancer diagnosis. Whether it’s people who understand your journey or those you can support, finding a community is so important, especially when the treatment ends, and the support seems to drift away.

    I share my recent inspiring lunch with Lisa, a 19-year cancer survivor, and how she reminded me of the power of connection. We also talk about joining support groups—online or local—and how these communities can lift you up, provide comfort, and help you feel less alone. But it’s not just about finding people to help you—sometimes, you’ll be the one providing support.

    This episode explores how offering your own experience and advice can give you a sense of purpose and how you can protect your energy while doing it. We touch on the importance of choosing a positive circle of people, because let’s be honest, none of us need more negativity!
