Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? In episode 446 of The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach, Laura Lummer tackles the tricky world of affirmations and why they sometimes backfire. If you've ever felt like affirmations are more frustrating than helpful, Laura explains why your brain might not be buying what you're selling.
She breaks down how our minds react to statements that feel untrue and introduces the concept of 'glimmers'—those small, positive signals that can help ease your nervous system into acceptance. With a blend of science and personal anecdotes, Laura shares how choosing words your brain can trust can gently propel you forward in healing, relationships, and lifestyle changes.

So, if you're ready to learn how to work with your brain instead of against it, grab a cup of tea and get ready for some glimmers of hope and understanding.
