Navigating Breast Cancer & Motherhood

i am Claudia, MOTHER OF THREE, AND
BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR

Welcome to my cancer diaries!

From being healthy to battling breast cancer, my journey reflects the struggle faced by one in eight women. Many, like me, are mothers of young children. Motherhood is tough, but motherhood with cancer is even tougher.

Yet, giving up is never an option. Together, with the right mindset and resources, we can navigate this journey and make the most of it.


Maybe breast cancer hasn’t touched your life directly, but perhaps you’re a caregiver, or you want to support a friend facing their own diagnosis. Or maybe you’re simply looking for inspiration to lead a healthier lifestyle, fit wellness into a busy schedule, or balance it all while raising young kids. I’m here to share what I’ve learned on my own transformational journey.
