If you’ve finished treatment and thought things would get easier - only to feel lost, exhausted, and unsure where to begin - I created this episode (and a powerful little course!) just for you.

I’m sharing my own experience of trying to return to “normal” after a rare and aggressive cancer diagnosis, and why that transition felt harder than treatment itself.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through what’s inside my new 5-day reset: from calming your nervous system, to gently boosting your energy, to managing the fear of recurrence, setting boundaries, and visualising the next chapter of your life. It’s a simple, soothing way to reconnect with yourself and rebuild the confidence cancer tried to shake.

You’ve survived so much - now it’s time to start thriving.

Here are the highlights:

About Rosy Brookes:

I help women rediscover their strength, confidence, and clarity after cancer. As a Nurse Specialist in palliative care, I had seen cancer’s impact at its worst, but when my son was diagnosed, I experienced it firsthand. His recovery left me feeling lost, overwhelmed, and disconnected from who I once was. Coaching helped me reclaim my confidence and find my purpose beyond cancer.

Support for women after cancer is limited, and true healing goes beyond just the medical treatment. Through my Cancer Coaching Program, I guide women in overcoming fear, processing emotions, and help them to reclaim their purpose, and rebuild a life they love.
