Our Contributing Expert, Robyn Towt, is a breast cancer survivor and the co-founder of Global Patient Advocacy Coalition. Soon after she had a bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction, she fell ill. She was fortunate that she didn’t have to do chemo or radiation, so it was easy to narrow down what was making her sick—it was the implants!
Robyn is a now a survivor of “breast implant illness,” and she’s become a patient advocate working the implant manufacturers, our government, and the medical provider community to ensure proper safeguards are in place to ensure informed consent. Her story is powerful and important.

Friends, I am so very excited to bring you this training about “Mindful Eating.” Our Contributing Expert Dawn Hopkins is, among other things, a Licensed Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Facilitator.
“Mindful eating”? What the heck is THAT? From the Am I Hungry? website:
You were born with a natural, instinctive relationship with food.
As a young child, you knew when you were hungry and when you were full.
You ate what you loved without guilt. And when you were done eating, food was no longer your focus. You turned your attention to playing, exploring, and growing while your body used the fuel for energy.
Along the way, you probably picked up messages about food and your body from family, friends, healthcare, and the media. For example, you were told that certain foods are “bad,” and when you eat them, you are “bad” too.
Instead of play, exercise became punishment for eating or for earning the right to eat. Your body was somehow wrong, creating an intense longing to change it to earn acceptance and approval.
This set you up for a life-long pattern we call the eat-repent-repeat cycle.
It’s time to heal your relationship with food.
When you stop obsessing about food and your body and heal your relationship with food, you free your energy to live the big, vibrant life you crave!
Dawn is a world-class “trainer of trainers” in the yoga community. But she’s also passionate about the way the Am I Hungry? Program helped her change her relationship with food and heal deep-seated issues from an eating disorder. As a breast cancer survivor herself, she wants to bring what she’s learned to our community! Please join us—we’re waiting for you!

When Marci Greenberg Cox was diagnosed with breast cancer, her daughters were ages 5 and 1. How do you explains a breast cancer diagnosis to children? This is a struggle every young mommy faces when they’re diagnosed.
Struggle no more! Marci is the author of Mommy Has a Boo-Boo: Explaining Breast Cancer to Children. The book helps kids ages 3-9 learn what their Mommy is going through. The book explains that you can't see the boo-boo and tells the kids what it is called: cancer. It goes through the timeline of what one mommy went through — from having surgery and losing her breasts, to having to go through chemotherapy and losing her hair. Mommy may look different, and it will take time for Mommy to heal — but in the end, she will get better!
In our interview, Marci discusses her other books, including The Breast Cancer GPS, Breast Cancer Word Search, Courage, Hope & Strength, A Warrior’s Journey and more!
Marci has self-published eight books in the last two years and is currently writing #9! As we discussed in our podcast, she’s also helping new writers get started through her Pad-to-Publishing service.
Marci, you’re doing GREAT things! Thanks for serving the breast cancer community with such passion and love!

More and more success stories are being told in our private Sex After Breast Cancer support group! Our women are learning about solutions that are available to them to treat painful intercourse and lack of libido from our incredible group of Contributing Experts.
Today’s podcast features one of our women and a newlywed, Erin, who was struggling with both painful intercourse and lack of libido early in her marriage.
Through the encouragement of the women in our support group and the education she was able to get through our team of Contributing Experts, Erin felt empowered to talk to her providers about potential solutions to her issues. As she tried options along the way (including vaginal laser treatment and pelvic floor therapy), her gynecologist suggested that Erin see a different gynecologist who worked more often with women who take hormone blockers.
Erin tells the story of how that new gyny was able to specifically identify why intercourse was painful and how just a tiny bit of topical hormone cream applied a couple of times a week restored her tissue and took away her pain quickly!
And on the libido front, it was recommended that Erin try using a prescription medication Addyi that works in pre-menopausal women to treat decreased sexual desire. Her gyny said 70% of the women she prescribes it to had great results, and Erin was one of those. Although her gyny said it would take three months to have results, Erin experienced increase desire in the first month! (Note that there is one other prescription medication given by injection for pre-menopausal women who have low sexual desire called Vyleesi).
As it is with all of us, friends, painful intercourse and lack of libido is most likely caused by a combination of medical conditions that can be treated. Take Erin’s advice and ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF with your providers to find the answers you need. THERE IS HOPE.

Our body confidence story started at a young, impressionable age. What are early stories you have about your height, size, shape, physical appearance that are playing over and over again in your mind? Those stories inform how we feel about ourselves now!
With a breast cancer diagnosis on top of all of that, our body confidence often takes a beating. Join Breast Cancer Transformation Coach to learn 5 Steps to Body Confidence.
The Five Steps discussed—
Self-care is a conscious act we take to promote our own mental, physical, and emotional health and well-being.
Self-love is how you show your body love and gratitude.
Self-compassion is about how hard you are on yourself! The more compassionate you have with your body, the more your body will be compassionate with you.
Self-acceptance is accepting your body for what it can do, instead of what it can’t. It’s important to become a friend to your body, to admire it, to accept ourselves on every step of our journey, even when there are twists in the road.
Self-confidence for your body impacts how you show up in every area of your life.
