This one is near and dear to my heart. In 2023 my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was a huge shock for all of us, especially when it has never ran in the family. There is not a lot of time to process a diagnosis like this, and treatment has to be done FAST. My mom was given the choice to go through chemo, where there was no guarantee it would destroy all the cancer, or to have a double mastectomy. She chose the mastectomy. I cannot say that I know exactly how she felt, but I know it was a really dark time for her. She had a hard time accepting she was losing her breasts and she felt like a piece of her womanhood was about to be taken from her. It was so important for me to give her as much love and support during this time for her. I am so thankful to say, she is doing so much better and was able to have a reconstructive surgery. I tried my best to provide her with items that were helpful after her surgery (for the mastectomy and the reconstructive surgery). These were items that my mother told me were her favorite and we would love to share her favorites as it might help someone else navigating this journey. If you or someone you know is battling breast cancer, I just want to say I am praying for you!

I have qualifications in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy (TLT), Hypnotherapy and Reiki. I have exposure to (and have dabbled in) many natural therapies over the years including Chinese Herbs, Homeopathy, Kinesiology, Naturopathy, Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Massage (of various types), Iridology, Essential Oils, Gems and Reflexology. Likely there's more I'm not thinking of at this moment. Having said all this, I am not a medical practitioner and don't offer medical recommendations - just my own experiences. I am a huge believer in the mind/body connection and the language of the body that can teach us so many learnings to release trapped emotions and imbalances that cause dis-ease.

If you have chronic illness you know exactly what a “spoonie” is. If you are reading this & wondering what the heck is a “spoonie”? I don't blame you, I didn't either… until I became one. (But don't go anywhere this list is for you too because it's a Self Care list for anyone.) “Spoons” are how people with chronic illness rate their energy levels from day to day. Everyone- chronically ill, or not- has a set number of spoons to get through the day. Let's say 20. Every task you do uses energy, aka spoons. Sometimes getting out of bed, changing your clothes, & brushing your teeth may take 5 spoons, other days might be 2, we never know from day to day how much simple tasks will take from us. When we run out of spoons we quite literally crash. This is where & when learning & knowing about Self Care is important. Self Care, also allows you to take care of those around you. You are not lazy or selfish. You are surviving.

I have spent the last 3 years on a quest to improve my PCOS symptoms. Consistency is hard, but below is a regmine I landed on that has led to the biggest reduction in my symptoms. These supplements combined with a gentle workout routine has helped me lose weight, kick cravings, majorly reduce hairloss, and feel better overall. Not everyone has access to the funds to take all of these supplements so I have organized in what I believe to be the most important and then the nice to haves. Take these changes slow to be sustainable change. Don't go buying every single thing reccomended thinking you will do it all at once all day everyday. Start small, build up…this will help you ID what actually helps you. Give everything six months.Don't be afraid to explore and find different options, but the supplements listed from WholesomeStory are specifically designed for folks with PCOS and infertility. They have the best combos to help. Something is better than nothing though, find what works for you!Most importantly, remember: FOOD IS NOT YOUR ENEMY AND RESTRICTING YOUR DIET AND BEING FEARFUL OF FOOD IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU. All it idoes is increase your anxiety and stress around eating, which elevates your cortisol…this just leads to more damage for your body and makes things worse than any particular food would
