Stacy Conlon was diagnosed at 42 with Stage IIb lobular breast cancer. Stacy is a certified mindfulness meditation facilitator and Reiki energy healer. In this episode, Stacy reads her essay “Snip, Surrender, Shine: A Ritual in Resilience” from Wildfire Magazine’s 2024 “Body” issue. Stacy’s piece takes us along on an act of intentional ritual when removing her hair before chemo, and giving herself a ceremony container to move through a part of her cancer journey.  April and Stacy will discuss making different spaces to honor experiences or create closure in the breast cancer journey, Stacy’s perspective on resilience, and tips for creating rituals.  They will also talk about Stacy’s upcoming book Breast Cancer Made Easier.
