Life After Cancer: My Post-Cancer Spiral And Why I'm Quitting My Job

Naomi shares a raw and honest account of what life after cancer really looks like from spiralling health anxiety and post-cancer trauma to questioning work, identity, and what actually matters anymore. In this deeply personal episode, Naomi opens up about the fear that can come with every lump, ache, and symptom after cancer, the emotional toll of living in survival mode, and why she’s starting to realise she can’t keep forcing herself into a life that no longer fits. The episode explores mental health after cancer, fear of recurrence, burnout, intuition, and the uncomfortable in-between space of asking: what now? It’s a conversation about rebuilding life on your own terms, learning to trust yourself again, and finding resilience even when everything feels uncertain. Key Takeaways: * Life after cancer is not just inspirational quotes and green juices, it's real and raw. * Stress and trauma from cancer can linger and affect daily life. * Investing in yourself, whether through education or new ventures, is crucial for healing and growth. * Trusting your gut and making bold decisions can lead to a more authentic life. * Spiritual insights and energy readings can provide clarity and reassurance.

"Should I Remove My Falloian Tubes?" Fertility, Fear & The Decision Nobody Wants To Make

This week’s episode wasn’t planned… but it’s probably one of the most honest ones I’ve recorded. I’m talking about a decision that’s been quietly sitting in the background for a while, whether to have my fallopian tubes removed. After cancer, I thought the hard part was over. But what no one really prepares you for is the constant stream of decisions that come after, especially when they involve risk, fertility, hormones, and your future. In this episode, I share: * What it’s actually like living with a BRCA gene mutation * Why ovarian cancer risk has suddenly started playing on my mind * How unpredictable hormones and periods can mess with your head post-treatment * The option of removing fallopian tubes (and why it’s not as simple as it sounds) * Fertility after cancer, IVF, and the emotional weight of “what if” * And the reality of making decisions when there’s no clear right answer This isn’t a medical episode. It’s a real one. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the decisions that come after cancer or struggled with fertility, uncertainty, or trusting your body again, this one’s for you.
