Episode 135: You Donât Have to Be Loud to Be Heard
You Donât Have to Be Loud to Be Heard | The Cancer Journey Podcast | Episode 135
Some days itâs hard to know what you need, and harder to say it out loud. You may be tired, your life may be changing, and the people around you keep saying theyâre there if you need anything. It can leave you feeling alone, even when youâre surrounded by people who care.
This healing and emotional wellness conversation from The Cancer Journey Podcast is about connection. Youâll hear why being open lets people in, what it looks like to ask for something specific, and how sharing your story, online or only with a few people, can bring clarity as well as community.
If youâve been holding things in to keep everyone else comfortable, or youâre not sure how to ask for what you want, this one is for you. You donât have to be loud about it. You get to find the way of connecting that fits you.

What to Do When Hope Runs Low | The Cancer Journey Podcast | Episode 133
Disappointment on a cancer journey: what to do when hope runs low
Maybe a treatment didnât work the way you hoped, or someone you counted on didnât show up. Disappointment is part of a cancer journey, and the usual advice to stay positive or lower your expectations leaves you with nowhere to put what you actually feel.

Youâll hear why letting yourself be disappointed for a set amount of time helps, how to listen for the message underneath it, and why avoiding the feeling keeps you from the things you want.
If hope has felt hard to hold lately, or youâve been numbing out and distracting yourself so you donât have to feel it, this one is for you. You donât have to pick a side. You can feel the let-down, let it move, and find another way toward what matters to you.
