    Season 2 Episode 9: Life After Cancer with Steph Davies: Mental Wellbeing Support

    What happens when treatment stops?  When the appointments end, life after cancer often brings new challenges—fear of recurrence, identity shifts, and the question of how to move forward. In this episode of The Hurdle2Hope® Show, I sit down with Steph Davies, founder of Life After Cancer, to talk about how she turned her own experience into a community supporting others through the emotional and mental realities of life beyond treatment.    KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS   Finishing treatment is the start of a new chapter. Fear of recurrence is common and there are ways to manage it. Compassion and mindset shifts help in recovery. Community connection reduces isolation. Small, steady steps create momentum.   SHOW RESOURCES   Website: Life After Cancer Instagram: @life_aftercancer Connect with Teisha:  hurdle2hope.com/contactFree Reset your Mindset in Nature mini course: hurdle2hope.com/elementsSend Teisha a text message ❤️🧡💚 Unexpected hurdles interrupt all of our lives.

    Diabetes affects more than you realise. Here’s why you should care.  In this episode of The Hurdle2Hope® Show, I’m joined by Therese Cameron, Credentialed Diabetes Nurse Educator, Chronic Care Coordinator, and founder of Diabetes Alliance. This conversation is for everyone — whether you're living with diabetes, support someone who is, or want to better understand how to stay well.  We unpack the real differences between type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes, the emotional toll of chronic illness, and why so many people are still being misdiagnosed or misunderstood.  Later in the episode, Therese shares how Qi Gong, a meditative movement practice, became part of her healing journey after cancer — and how it helped shift her entire approach to wellness.    KEY TAKEWAYS  Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are completely different — and need different support approaches Misdiagnosis and stigma are still major issues in diabetes care Technology like insulin pumps and CGMs can be life-changing — but are not the full solution Self-management and education are just as critical as medication Holistic practices like Qi Gong can support emotional and physical healing   SHOW RESOURCES  Website: diabetesalliance.net Email: info@diabetesalliance.net LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/theresecameron/ Resent your Mindset in Nature    ABOUT THE GUEST  Therese Cameron is highly respected, with 20 years' experience as a Credentialed Diabetes Nurse Educator and Chronic Care Coordinator.   She is experienced in the education of adults and children with diabetes as well as medical staff, allied health professionals, corporate organizations, non-government organizations (NGOs) and other primary health care stakeholders in diabetes management and research information.  Therese also has experience as a support nurse in the immunology portfolio of rheumatology, gastroenterology, dermatology, and chronic care management.  She has extensive experience working in the area of Health and Wellness Coaching.

    Season 2 Episode 7: How Understanding Zoe Is Transforming Support for Neurodivergent Children

    You’ve just been handed a life-changing diagnosis for your child — now what?  For many parents of neurodivergent children, the moment of diagnosis brings more questions than answers. Overwhelmed by clinical reports, disconnected from support systems, and expected to become instant experts — the emotional toll is immense.  In this episode of The Hurdle2Hope® Show, I sit down with Laetitia Andrac, CEO and Co-Founder of Understanding Zoe — a revolutionary neuroaffirming platform changing the way we support neurodivergent children.    KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS  Diagnosis is only the beginning – families are often left without clear next steps. Neurodivergence is broader than you think – it includes autism, ADHD, PDA, and more. Personalisation over prescription – every child’s needs and responses are different. Parents need support too – especially when navigating their own neurodivergence. Tech with heart can change lives – how Understanding Zoe brings clarity and connection.   SHOW RESOURCES  Understanding Zoe website https://understandingzoe.com/  Follow on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/understanding.zoe  Connect with Laetitia Andrac on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/laetitiaandrac/  Send Teisha a text message ❤️🧡💚 Unexpected hurdles interrupt all of our lives.

    Season 2 Episode 5: Pauline Romao, Bodhi Holistic Hub – Redefining Trust in Holistic Healing

    Are you skeptical about holistic care?  In this episode of The Hurdle2Hope® Show, Teisha sits down with Pauline Romao, founder of Bodhi Holistic Hub, to unpack what holistic healing really involves — and why it’s often misunderstood.    Pauline shares how skin and digestive issues led her to explore natural therapies that finally got to the root of what was going on. Drawing from her studies in Hygienism and Iridology, time with Indigenous communities, and her tech background, she explains why access and trust are still missing in holistic care — and how she’s working to change that.    If you’ve ever wondered whether holistic health has a place alongside conventional care, this episode offers a thoughtful, practical entry point.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  Symptoms aren’t always problems — they might be your body’s way of healing. We’ve lost everyday health wisdom — but we can relearn it. Trust matters in holistic care — and it's still missing in many spaces. You don’t have to choose between medical and holistic healing. Healing starts when you stay curious, not when you have all the answers.   SHOW RESOURCES  Explore Bodhi Holistic Hub: https://www.bodhiholistichub.com/Take the Practitioner Matching Quiz:  bodhiholistichub.com/quizFollow Pauline on Instagram: @bodhiholistichub   ABOUT THE GUEST  Pauline Romao is the founder of Bodhi Holistic Hub — a platform connecting people with verified holistic health practitioners across 70+ specialties.
