It's hard to believe a year has passed since I launched "What Nobody Tells Us." What a journey it's been, and I can't believe how it's grown and where it's led me.

In this anniversary episode, I'm reflecting on the top ten truths I've learned about cancer diagnosis and sharing some heartfelt advice for all you incredible caregivers out there.

I talk about the critical importance of self-advocacy - it's not just crucial, it can be a matter of life and death. I share ideas on how you can find your voice and never settle for care that doesn't meet your needs. I also discuss the game-changing power of building a strong support network, and share tips on how to ask for the specific help you need.

It's not easy to do, but I open up about the emotional rollercoaster of caregiving. Having been there myself, I want you to know it's okay to experience a wide range of emotions, sharing strategies for finding moments of joy, even during the toughest times.

Expect some practical tips too - from staying organized to setting healthy boundaries. It's all about making this challenging journey a bit more manageable.

Looking ahead, I'm excited to take this podcast in new directions. We'll be diving deeper into specific aspects of caregiving and offering more resources to help you navigate your own path. I'm so excited to continue these important conversations and shed light on the things that nobody tells us - but that everyone should know.
