#356 Why Breast Cancer Survivors Struggle to Seek Help - The Zero Sum Trap

Better Than Before Breast Cancer with The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach

In this episode, we're diving into a topic that I know many of you have encountered but might not have a name for zero-sum thinking.

This is the belief that if you take something for yourself, you're taking it away from someone else. And let me tell you, it's a sneaky little mindset that can really hold us back, especially when we're navigating the rocky waters of breast cancer recovery.

In this episode, I break down what zero-sum thinking is and why it's such a common roadblock for breast cancer survivors.

Many of us feel that asking for help or seeking support means depriving someone else of those same resources. It's a noble thought, but it's not true. Support, love, and care are not finite resources. There's more than enough to go around for everyone.

I share stories and insights on how zero-sum thinking has affected some of you and offer practical tips on shifting this mindset.

Imagine how liberating it would feel to know that reaching out for help is not only okay but beneficial for you and those around you. When you thrive, you inspire others to do the same. It's a ripple effect of positivity and healing.

Let's break free from zero-sum thinking and embrace the abundant support that's out there for every one of us. Remember, you deserve all the help and love you need to thrive on this journey. Tune in and let's start this transformative conversation together!
