Episode Description:
The holidays are a mix of joy, chaos, and endless temptation — which makes it easy to say, “I’ll just start over in January.” But what if you didn’t have to throw in the towel?

In this episode, Heather and Larry talk about how to stay intentional, flexible, and grounded through the holiday season — without giving up all the things you love. From choosing simple non-negotiables to moving your body (even a little), eating like you love yourself, and focusing on connection over perfection, they share what really helps you feel good through the busiest time of year.

You’ll laugh along as they banter about color-coordinated outfits and cookie cravings, but you’ll also walk away with seven doable commitments that can keep you steady — and make January feel a whole lot easier.

In this episode:

• Why waiting for January to “start over” doesn’t work

• The small, realistic habits that help you stay grounded

• Handling food, movement, and rest without guilt

• Letting go of perfection and choosing connection instead

• How to enjoy the holidays and feel good in your body and mind

When your mind starts spinning with fear, what-ifs, and worst-case scenarios, how do you stop it? In this episode of I’m Still Here, Heather and Larry talk about the “cancer spiral” — that flood of anxious thoughts that shows up at diagnosis and sometimes never fully leaves.

Heather shares how her new guide, Stop the Cancer Spiral: The 15-Minute Reset, was born out of her own experience of living with metastatic breast cancer for more than 25 years. Together, they break down what the spiral really is, why your brain defaults to it, and how you can interrupt it — in just a few minutes — using practical mindset tools that work in real life.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, or simply overwhelmed by everyday stress, this conversation will help you calm your mind, challenge your thoughts, and find your footing again.
