Everyone expects you to feel nothing but relief once cancer treatment is over—but the reality is often very different. Many survivors find themselves facing invisible struggles that family, friends, and even medical teams rarely talk about.

In this week’s episode of Confidence After Cancer, Gabby shares her personal story of what life was really like after treatment ended, moving from relief to fear, exhaustion, guilt, and the confusion of not feeling “back to normal.” She also opens up about the four most common struggles she sees in her clients after treatment: fatigue, identity shifts, guilt, and fear of recurrence.

You’ll also hear a powerful coaching story about a client who rediscovered her voice at work after feeling invisible post-treatment. These stories are a reminder that while the hidden struggles are real, they don’t have to define you. With the right support, you can rebuild your confidence, protect your energy, and thrive in the next chapter of your life.
