About this listen

When you’ve heard the words “you have cancer,” it’s almost impossible not to compare yourself to the person you were before diagnosis. For integrative cancer coach and breast cancer survivor Isabel Galiano, that comparison became a quiet form of self-punishment—until she learned to measure her life from a different starting line.


In this conversation, Isabel traces her story from caring for her mother through colon cancer at 50, to her own breast cancer diagnosis at 32 just after her honeymoon, to a devastating recurrence less than two years after being declared cancer-free. She shares how she moved from being a “guest” in her own treatment—doing only what doctors told her—to becoming an active participant in her care, studying health coaching, nutrition, and functional medicine to build a toolbox for healing and long-term survivorship.
