Episode Episode 261: What Do I Need This Year? Rethinking the New Year With Metastatic Breast Cancer
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.
