The Cancer Wellness Podcast: Recent Episodes
Robin Page
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and settle in with The Cancer Wellness Podcast, hosted by Robin Page, who is a long-time metastatic breast cancer thriver. Robin was diagnosed in 2008 and after she was done being angry at the world, she realized that there were choices to be made to support her health. These choices grounded her during treatment and surgery, and she is passionate about sharing what she has learned and eventually what has become her lifestyle. We will connect with people who want to make an active choice to incorporate wellness into their lives after a cancer diagnosis. Through exploration, inspirational stories and experts sharing their point of view, we will try to simplify sometimes confusing information as it relates to health and wellness. Each month Robin will interview a guest speaker so together we can make choices to support healing our body, mind and spirit.
Please enjoy the interview with the fabulous yoga instructor Michelle Marlahan. We discuss the importance of yoga and breath after a cancer diagnosis. She shared how she moves through life after an endometrial cancer diagnosis. Her description of opening a window is directly applicable to many facets of living.
Bonnie Gordon who I met when she was the executive director of Komen Chicago. We created the Metastatic Breast Cancer Conference together where we were able to address medical and lifestyle aspects of breast cancer. Bonnie shares her own story of being diagnosed with breast cancer, issues with disparity and so eloquently shares her lifestyle/mindset that continue to help her live her life.
