Welcome to Heather’s Hangout!
I’m Heather!
Cancer survivor | writer | speaker | coach | advocate | yoga teacher | seeker of joy and ease | lover of life
My mission is be a positive change in the world. Will you join me?
There’s no doubt that life can be hard. As a three-time cancer survivor, I definitely have faced those hard challenges. But I also have learned that choosing to focus on the positive in my life helps me better manage those challenges with ease, courage and clarity.
I initially started a blog because while cancer is ugly, life is beautiful. I’m grateful to be alive to enjoy the simple moments of every day. And I want to help others find this joy too.
Whether you’re a cancer survivor or not, everyone is welcome here!
Heather’s Hangout offers useful information on managing your overall well-being, fun adventures and experiences, tips for navigating tough times and staying focused on the good in life, and more. I also share some of my experiences as a cancer survivor because, well, I’m blessed to be alive. And after clearing three cancers and being a health advocate for 25+ years, I want to share the knowledge and experience that may help others.
And that’s my mission – to be a positive change in the world.
I hope Heather’s Hangout motivates you to choose to throw your arms open to life’s possibilities too!
I feel gratitude for each day. I’m told that I am a never-ending optimist – I take those comments as very kind compliments. Besides, doesn’t it feel so much better to be happy and positive? Life is a journey. As a cancer survivor and simple human being, I’m blessed to be here to experience it.
I’m so happy that you’re choosing to hang out with me.
Cheers, Heather
