In this episode, we talk honestly about post-cancer fatigue. Fatigue after cancer isn’t just tiredness. It can feel like frustration, grief, self-doubt, and the weight of invisible expectations. We explore the mental, emotional, and physical toll it takes, and the pressure to “get back to busy”. Most importantly, we ask: what if fatigue isn’t something to fix, but a message from our body asking us to slow down and honour everything we’ve been through? We share how we’re slowly learning to see it not as a flaw but as a way to be gentler, slower, and more human. ❤️
