A breast cancer diagnosis changes everything—not just for the patient, but for families, friends, and anyone walking alongside them.  In this heartfelt conversation, Lauren sits down with Megan Graves, RN, BSN—a Breast Cancer Advocate and Guide and the founder of Beacon RN, a personalized breast cancer navigation service based in Erie, Colorado. Megan supports patients and their loved ones with the medical clarity, emotional steadiness, and compassionate guidance every family deserves during an overwhelming season. Megan shares thoughtful, practical support for caregivers and friends who want to help but aren’t sure where to begin. In this episode, we explore: What a breast cancer advocate and navigator actually does How to organize medical information & advocate during appointments What to say (and what not to say) when someone you love is diagnosed Meaningful, helpful ways to support someone beyond dropping off a meal How caregivers can protect their own well-being during the process Small, manageable steps that support healing: sleep, nutrition & gentle movement The emotional impact of breast cancer—and why no one should navigate it alone Enjoyed the episode? If this conversation offered comfort, clarity, or support for you or someone you love, share it with a friend or tag us @theeriewellnesspodcast.
