A new year often comes with pressure to set goals, do more, and fix ourselves. But when you’re living with metastatic breast cancer, that framework can feel exhausting — and disconnected from reality.
In this New Year episode, we talk about a different way forward. One that starts by asking a more honest question:
What do I need this year?
Because when cancer doesn’t reset on January 1st, the goal isn’t reinvention — it’s living.
We explore:
Why living with metastatic breast cancer is already enough
Letting go of “shoulds” and redefining progress
Shifting from performance to presence
Creating anchors instead of rigid routines
Trusting what your body and life are asking for right now
Why rest matters — and why engagement still does too
This is an honest, grounded conversation about living well with metastatic disease — without pretending it’s easy, and without waiting for life to begin “after.”
You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
And you don’t need to fix yourself to deserve a meaningful life.
Living is the goal.
