Flourishing and Finding Peace After Choosing Flat with Peta-Ann

31min | 10/29/2025

Description

Welcome back to Navigating Cancer TOGETHER! We’re picking up right where we left off with the remarkable Peta-Ann Wood, a breast cancer thriver and Soulful Coach.

Part 1, "Choosing Flat: Peta-Ann's Journey to Self-Acceptance," was about the courage to choose (flatness, self-advocacy, and leaving people-pleasing behind). Now, Part 2 is the roadmap for flourishing once those massive decisions are made.

Peta-Ann opens up about the powerful shift from managing her life to becoming a Happiness Coach. She reveals how her personal journey, touching on her late AuDHD diagnosis and her life-affirming choice to go flat, gave her a unique lens for helping others find inner peace and contentment.

If you are struggling with the transition after treatment ends, or if you feel like your self-worth took a hit during your diagnosis, this episode is dedicated to you. Peta-Ann shares candid advice and heartwarming success stories that prove recovery isn't just about survival, it's about building a happier life than you had before.

✨Episode Highlights:

03:36 Understanding the shift: Why Peta-Ann focused on Happiness Coaching.
08:47 How Lived Experience fuels her personal growth and guidance.
16:28 Navigating Cancer TOGETHER: A reflection on building genuine community support.
26:49 Words of Encouragement: Direct, honest advice for the cancer community.
