In this episode, we’re talking about the complicated, emotional, identity-shifting question of whether or not to return to work after a cancer diagnosis.

This isn’t just about logistics or finances. It’s about purpose. It’s about identity. It’s about who you are outside of your roles — and who you’re allowed to become now.

If you love your job but aren’t sure your body can do it the way it used to… this conversation is for you.

We explore:

– Why this decision is about more than just “yes or no”

– The grief of losing (or changing) a professional identity

– Financial fear and how to shift into possibility instead of scarcity

– The difference between capacity issues and boundary issues

– Worst-case thinking vs. what’s actually medically true

– What “minimum viable work” could look like
