Saranne returns to Beating Cancer Daily to continue her empowering discussion on focusing energy where it matters most: the things within our control. After living for over 30 years with Stage IV cancer, Saranne shares personal insights and practical strategies inspired by a powerful Etsy poster and guidance from the University of Rochester Medical Center. In this episode, she explores how building small, meaningful habits, micro habits, around attitude, boundaries, and self-care can offer a sense of stability and comfort, even in the midst of the most uncertain medical journeys. Listeners are encouraged to craft their own lists of what they can take charge of and discover relief in letting go of what they can’t.

 

"Hopefully, as we start to build these muscles together, you will also start feeling that things are more within your control. And the things that aren’t within your control, we can start to let go of."  ~Saranne
