Listen "#12: Surviving cancer and thriving"
Episode Synopsis
As a wife, mother, family CEO, alongside a full-time corporate career, Gabby was running on fumes all day, every day. Her life was hectic so there was never any time to think about the lifestyle choices she was making and what effect these might be having on her. This was until she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive type of breast cancer at only 44 years old.
Gabby began a new journey, walking a very different path to the one she expected to be on. The place she’s at though is far better than where she expected to be at this stage of her life, even though cancer is now a part of her story.
This is a powerful story of a very normal woman who lived life fast, thinking this was how it had to be. I know many of you will associate with this way of existing, believing you’re stuck. Gabby is proof it can be different, and she doesn’t want you to face a cancer diagnosis before realising this and being forced to take action to change. Taking control of your health and how you feel now is the key to living the long, happy life you desire.
In this episode we explore:
Reflecting on your life after a cancer diagnosis.
Navigating the next chapter of your cancer journey when your treatment is over.
Why taking care of yourself is the ultimate form of self-care and far from about you being selfish.
Dealing with the mental noise and feelings of guilt when life has to get back to normal.
Taking responsibility for your health and wellbeing for prevention and preservation.
The power of combining traditional medicine and treatments with functional medicine.
Why the simple things like time with your family are the route to true pleasure and joy.
Being done with cancer and finding a way to move forward with positivity and balance.
About Gabby:
Gabby Mottershead is from Manchester, England and is the founder of Confidence After Cancer, providing coaching and support for women after cancer treatment.
She was inspired to start this non-profit based support after being diagnosed with a rare and aggressive type of inflammatory breast cancer in 2008 aged 44. Following chemotherapy, surgeries, and radiotherapy, she suffered with depression and lack of confidence. Gabby realised there’s lots of support for cancer patients during their treatment, but when that ends you are suddenly left on your own.
