I have worked in the oncology space for over a decade and then became a patient myself last February , so I know both sides of this journey.

I created a free resource I when I was going through it that centralizes everything you’ll need for each part of the journey! (Products, questions to ask, must -haves for the journey etc) ,

One thing I realized quickly was how scattered all the support, products, and information were — especially when it came to managing hormonal side effects, hair loss, recovery, wellness, and day-to-day life during and after treatment.

Inside, you’ll find:

✨ must-read guidance for each stage (questions to ask, what to expect, what actually helps)
✨ curated product lists so you’re not guessing what you need
✨ a cancer registry (like a wedding registry, but for real support)
✨ access to free virtual support — nutrition, fitness, cold capping
✨ hair loss, beauty, wellness, and hormonal support
✨additional hormonal side effect support (hot flashes, low libido, insomnia, fatigue, joint pain, vaginal dryness, etc)

If you decide to register for free you get insider articles on tips on how to make each part of the journey easier along with savings on products/services we already need.

Many women are already using it and telling me it saves them so much time and energy hunting for solutions.

Hopefully it can make the journey a little softer. ❤️

The Sunday scaries hit a little differently before your first chemo.

But here’s the mindset that helped me: don’t think of chemo as the enemy. Think of it as your friend. It’s coming to destroy what’s trying to destroy you.

Instead of fearing it, I chose to welcome it in.

During my infusion, I kept repeating to myself, “Healthy cells remain. Healthy cells remain.” It became my mantra—a reminder that my body was strong and that this treatment had a purpose.

Every drip, every minute, every treatment was working to help save my life.

If tomorrow is your first infusion, know you’re stronger than you think. One treatment at a time. 🤍

I also put together an article with the Top 5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Chemo—the things that made my experience so much easier and that I wish someone had told me before my first infusion. I hope it helps make your first day a little less scary.
