    When Cancer Shakes Your Confidence

    Send a text At 21 years old, Terry Healey was a junior at UC Berkeley, living what felt like the best years of his life,  until a small comment from friends led to the discovery of a rare, aggressive cancer growing in his face. What followed were more than 25 reconstructive surgeries, permanent facial disfigurement, and a complete unraveling of his confidence and identity. In this powerful conversation, Terry shares what it was like to wake up after radical surgery, how losing his appearance shook him to his core, and the internal battle that proved harder than the physical one. He opens up about rebuilding confidence, facing public stares, navigating relationships, and the wake-up call that forced him to stop searching for “fixes” and start doing the deeper work inside. Now an author, keynote speaker, and business strategist, Terry shares his resilience framework, REBAR — Reflect, Build, Act, Renew — and the simple practices that helped him reclaim his life. This episode is about cancer, confidence, identity, and the courage to rebuild from the inside out.

    Dr. Manuela Kogan - Make Your Mind Your Friend When Cancer Visits

    Send a text In this episode of In Shock, Teresa Baglietto sits down with Dr. Manuela Kogan, a clinical professor and integrative medicine internist, to explore what happens to the nervous system when cancer enters your life and how to calm the Nervous System to Make Clear Treatment Decisions. Drawing from her work with hundreds of cancer patients and her book When Cancer Visits, Dr. Kogan explains why a cancer diagnosis puts the body and mind into shock, often making it difficult to think clearly or make informed decisions about treatment and surgery. Together, Teresa and Dr. Kogan discuss practical, evidence-based breathing techniques, visualization exercises, and grounding practices designed to quiet fear, reduce numbness, and restore clarity in moments of uncertainty. Teresa also shares her personal experiences navigating multiple cancer diagnoses, recurrences, and treatment decisions, offering a deeply human perspective on fear, shock, and the emotional weight patients carry often long after treatment ends. The conversation highlights why calming the nervous system isn’t about “relaxing” or avoiding reality, but about creating the mental and physical space needed to make thoughtful, empowered choices. This episode is a compassionate guide for anyone newly diagnosed, currently in treatment, living with the fear of recurrence, or supporting a loved one through cancer — offering tools to steady the body, quiet the mind, and move forward with intention.

    Your Soul Knows Where You're Headed, Even When You Don't

    Send a text In this episode, Teresa shares the kind of message that finds you when you need it most. She reflects on a truth many of us struggle with: purpose isn’t something you stumble upon; it’s something that calls you from within. Through a story Oprah shared with author Gary Zukav, Teresa explores the idea that each of us has a “mothership”—our soul—that knows exactly where we’re meant to go, even when we don’t. When we sail in alignment with it, life becomes meaningful, energizing, and clear. When we fight it, we drift, disconnect, and lose ourselves. Teresa opens up about her own journey, the storms she’s weathered, and how every challenge has been a chapter preparing her for this moment: sharing stories, creating connection, and helping others rise.  This episode is a reminder that your purpose is already inside you. It shows up in what lights you up, what pulls you forward, and what you lose track of time doing. Your job? Listen to the direction of your mothership. If you’ve been questioning your path, feeling stuck, or searching for meaning, this one will speak directly to your soul. Thank you for tuning in!
