Recap of August 2026 Session At our August session, if we had to sum up the evening in one message, it would be this: We’re ready for more JOY and less anxiety. The conversation was honest, vulnerable, funny, and deeply supportive. Women talked about what it means to find themselves again after breast cancer—and to figure out who they are now. We talked about body image, hair, intimacy, sleep, treatment side effects, mental health, movement, and the complicated journey of survivorship. We talked about the isolation that can come with cancer and how powerful it is to be surrounded by women who simply get it.
Recap of August 2026 Session One question we explored was: • What is one part of yourself that you want to see with compassion at this point in your life? For some, it was their changing bodies. For others, it was their hair, their sexuality, their physical limitations, or simply the pressure they put on themselves. Making Space for Ourselves • The group also talked about finding ways to care for our whole selves, from movement and yoga to massage, mindfulness, better sleep, and mental health support. Because survivorship is a long journey. And every day can look different.
