First full workout back today. Started with 5lbs weights. Everything was light. My body is begging for me to go slow and be specific. I’m so grateful I get to get back in the gym before and hopefully during radiation so I can deal with any lymphoma right away. #cancer #breastcancer #radiation
You never really understand how much you still need your mom until you’re sick. I have always been fiercely independent but the min I found out all I wanted was my mom. I love you @motleyadventures thank you for loving me and teaching me how to love my babies #cancer breast cancer #mothersday
Make sure you tune in!!! Cause this was a wild ride. Directed this with the help of @michaelbarbuto@lieselottesoper@muse_entertainment and @therokuchannel while going through Chemo treatments. I am not one to brag but that is something I’ll brag about for the rest of my life. #cancer #breastcancer #director
Correction…today was my radiation planning appointment. I got measured and cracked jokes with my team while they drew on me with markers. Next week I’ll get tiny tattoos so they know exactly where to do the radiation. I’ve been so busy living lately that I forgot that this was a part of my life but…..I’m gonna get through this. I’m gonna be kind to myself and my body and if anyone else is going through thiis then let’s be kind to eachother ❤️❤️ #cancer #radiation #breastcancer
On my way to my first radiation appointment…..so many feelings. Had to work this morning so haven’t had the time to fully process what’s to come. Maybe that’s a good thing…everyone keeps saying you’re over the worst part. But the beginning of each chapter is always the hardest part. Stay tuned….. #cancer #radiation #breastcancer
Week 2 in the can!! Directing just feels like home now. This crew has gelled together so well. I’m blown away with what we have been able to do. I can’t wait to tell you who stars in this film. They are both absolutely wonderful and one of my stars is an old friend who I have known for 30 years! He’s killing it and I know you’re gonna love him in it…stay tuned! #directing #movies thank you @michaelbarbuto for pulling this all together!!
Two different cancers - one product @bonjoutbeauty Le Balm Unscented.
A few years ago when we discovered this product, we had no idea then how it would become such a crucial part of both our cancer healing journeys.
Thank you @bonjoutbeauty@natachabonjout for creating Le Balm, it is far more than a beauty product, it is truly healing.

So I want to share an app that I found and fell in love with. The idea that we might not be around when you’re going through this crosses your mind constantly. I know I was and still am scared. If I’m being honest I don’t have the energy to write letters or journal. But this app and I thought it was brilliant. When I am no longer here (I’m planning on being here till I’m 90 FYI) I want my kids and my grandkids to be able to hear my voice and get any advice or love I can give them. And I wanted to record the journey I’m on in real time without pressure. The app just asks you questions and you answer. It’s a perfect solution when you’re overwhelmed. @forevermoreapp is an app I highly recommend. #cancer #chemo #breastcancer #talkingtoyourkids .
This week…..from 16 rounds of Chemo to a double mastectomy and follow up surgery to here. Finding myself again through the thing I love most. Story telling. I’m so grateful to be back in the directors chair. I’m exhausted…. But in the best way. Week one in the can. If you’re starting your chemo journey just know there is a light at the end of what feels like an endless tunnel. #breastcancer #directing
I can’t imagine what it has been like for my family and friends to watch their loved one going through this. If you’re looking to help someone during chemo here are some ideas for their chemo bags. @calmily_perfectlyweighted was one of my fav products. It’s a small business and I her story and journey is a beautiful one to follow as well ❤️ #caner #chemo #breastcancer
