Cancer, Motherhood & the Choice to Rise. In her 30s, juggling a blossoming career and an 18-month-old baby while dealing with COVID shutdowns and the death of a best friend, Amanda heard the words “stage 2 triple-positive breast cancer – 2 tumors.” And into the darkness she went.
But a few weeks into her diagnosis and depression, she knew a mindset shift had to be made—for her, her daughter, and her world. Tune in to discover how she shifted from despair to finding joy, humor, and wisdom in this deeply human and relatable podcast episode featuring Amanda Gunville.
We also discuss her debut memoir and guidebook: Finding Hope & Joy in Cancer: Wisdom for Patients, Caregivers, Family & Friends. Part memoir, part guidebook, and part pep talk. It offers an honest, uplifting, and empowering look at navigating life after a cancer diagnosis. You can buy it here and download her free patient care guidebook, filled with small joys that make a big difference!
