I'm Lauren, and this episode is a good one — grab a cup of tea.

I sat down with my friend Isabel Galiano Bossart, who is a breast cancer coach, nutritional therapist, health coach, yoga therapist, and a two-time survivor, first diagnosed at 32 with a recurrence two years later. She also tells me the Flemish-Spanish story behind her name, which I didn't know until we hit record — so that makes two of us learning something.

Isabel's work started long before her own diagnosis, caring for her mother through a cancer she didn't survive, and it's shaped everything Isabel's done since. For more than a decade she's helped women through treatment — but more importantly, through the part almost nobody prepares you for: the rebuilding that comes after, right when everyone around you is ready for "back to normal" and you are very much not there yet.

We get into the real roadblocks — the identity you have to rebuild, the care that disappears exactly when you need it most, and the quiet pressure to just feel grateful instead of asking for help. Isabel also walks me through her own reset when stress lands in her body (posture, then breath, then finally being honest with the voice in her head), and she tells me which songs get her through a hard day. One of them is peak-era U2, and I will not be taking questions about my own playlist after this.
