**NOTE**
I will no longer be hosting monthly virtual get-togethers. Please watch the replays of past get-togethers to get helpful information and resources.
​
I have transitioned to hosting the Navigating Cancer TOGETHER podcast!
Please be sure to listen, like, subscribe, support, and share my new podcast.
I interview guests from all walks of life who have been impacted by cancer (previvor, patient, survivor/thriver, caregiver) and are passionate about sharing their patient, thriver, and caregiver experiences to help listeners gain hope, connection, and helpful information to navigate the journey. Wellness champions and specialists promoting holistic approaches to care are also welcome.
Get unfiltered truth and honest conversations about the hidden struggles no one talks about, including the emotional rollercoaster and the quiet victories of a cancer journey. Each episode contains powerful information to help you navigate cancer a little easier, feel hopeful, and be better informed.
​
You can find it on many podcast apps.

Past Events
Topic: Preparing for the End of Life
There are many things in life that we all must face, but the interesting thing is no one talks about those things often or openly. We don't have a manual or a set of instructions on how to do those things.
One of those "things" is death or dying.
​
Leanne will discuss why you should prepare for the end of life and the benefits of having the help of an end-of-life doula. She will also talk about overcoming the fears surrounding death.
​
Guest Speaker: Leanne Nolan, End of Life Doula, Yoga Instructor, Plant Medicine Advocate
Topic: 4 Things You Need to Know About Physical Activity & A Cancer Diagnosis
Clare will discuss the barriers to physical activity after a cancer diagnosis, how cancer and treatment can change a person's body, how physical activity affects cancer, and how to start physical activity after a cancer diagnosis.

Topic: With the End In Mind - The Value of Advanced Care Planning
At some point in our lives, we will face transitions that may fill us with grief. End-of-life conversations can be challenging for many of us. Some of us avoid it altogether, which can leave us unprepared for death. Maureen will teach us how to thoughtfully plan for the transitions that will follow – long before the grief and trauma arrive.
