The mind-body connection is incredibly powerful—but it's easy to underestimate, especially after a breast cancer diagnosis. The emotional toll of treatment, recovery, and the search for a "new normal" can be just as challenging as the physical journey. And if your mind is working against you, healing can feel even more overwhelming.
In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, you'll learn how one simple yet powerful tool—mantras—can help you quiet mental noise, reduce stress, and reconnect with peace and presence. We'll talk about what mantras actually are, what the science says about their effect on the brain, and how you can use them to gently steer your thoughts toward healing instead of fear.
I'll also share my personal mantra practice, how it's helped me through some of the hardest moments of my journey, and how you can start using mantras to bring more calm, clarity, and self-compassion into your life.

You struggle with racing thoughts or emotional overwhelm after breast cancer treatment
You're curious about the mind-body connection and how to support healing from within
