When your mind starts spinning with fear, what-ifs, and worst-case scenarios, how do you stop it? In this episode of I’m Still Here, Heather and Larry talk about the “cancer spiral” — that flood of anxious thoughts that shows up at diagnosis and sometimes never fully leaves.
Heather shares how her new guide, Stop the Cancer Spiral: The 15-Minute Reset, was born out of her own experience of living with metastatic breast cancer for more than 25 years. Together, they break down what the spiral really is, why your brain defaults to it, and how you can interrupt it — in just a few minutes — using practical mindset tools that work in real life.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, or simply overwhelmed by everyday stress, this conversation will help you calm your mind, challenge your thoughts, and find your footing again.
