Ever wondered what it takes to live intentionally after a life-altering experience like breast cancer? Laura Lummer, a two-time survivor and certified coach, dives into the concept of living on purpose every day. Forget the daunting task of finding your 'grand purpose'; instead, Laura suggests asking yourself, 'Am I living on purpose?' This shift in mindset can change not just your emotional state but also your brain and body.

Drawing from neuroscience, she explains how intentional living can boost cognitive health and stress resilience. The episode is packed with research-backed insights, including a study showing that people with a strong sense of purpose are 28% less likely to develop cognitive decline. Laura also breaks down the barriers that often prevent us from living intentionally, such as fear and habitual behaviour.

But don't worry; she offers practical tips to help you incorporate intention into your daily life, like setting micro intentions and creating 'white space' for activities that bring joy. So if you're curious about how purposeful living can transform your recovery journey and everyday life, this episode is a must-listen.
