I didn't start this because I had a great idea ...
.. I started it because no one was there for me in the way I truly needed.

When I was diagnosed, I turned to fitness... not because my care team told me to, but because it was something that felt like mine. Something that made me feel human again.

What started as survival became a mission 💪

Foobs & Fitness exists because every person facing cancer deserves a specialist who actually understands not just what their body is going through, but also mentally.

I became the resource I wish I'd had ❤️‍🩹

If you've ever felt like you don't know where to turn or feel like you have to navigate this alone, you don't have to.

This month, you learned that exercise changes your brain chemistry.

The ACSM retired the 'avoid exercise' guidance in 2019.
Your lymphatic system needs YOU to move it.
That prehabilitation can change the trajectory of your treatment.
That your body, this body, right now, is worth training.
..Now imagine what 12 weeks could do 🤯

The Empowerment Program is my online coaching program, built specifically for breast cancer survivors, wherever you are in your diagnosis. Pre-treatment, active treatment, post-treatment. Years out and just getting started.

Here's what we do together:

💪 Week 1–2: Clinical intake + baseline assessment. We learn your body before we ask anything of it.

💪 Weeks 3–6: Foundation phase. Build the base. Learn your body's language.

💪 Weeks 7–10: Momentum phase. Progressive overload, your way. Energy starts returning here.

💪 Weeks 11–12: Integration. You're not just doing the program. You've become someone who trains.

With this program, you'll get weekly check-ins, personalized programming, and a trainer who's lived what you're living.

'I feel stronger than I did before diagnosis, and that felt impossible to say a year ago.' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Allison W.

If May showed you anything, let it be this: you're capable of more than you've been given permission to believe.

The Empowerment Program enrollment is open. Book Your Free Meet & Greet, your blind date with purpose, using the link in my bio.

See you on the other side 🤍

I found my lemon... and it saved my life.

has made early detection visual, accessible, and shareable in a way that clinical language never could.

It's so important to know the 12 signs of breast cancer, because a lump is NOT the only sign:

🍋 Hard Lump
🍋 Thick Area
🍋 Dimple,
🍋 Ni**le Crust
🍋 Pain and/or Itching in one spot,
🍋 New Fluid
🍋 Skin Sores
🍋 Bump
🍋 Growing Vein,
🍋 Sunken Ni**le
🍋 New Shape or Size
🍋 Orange Peel Skin/Rash
🍋 Hard lump

When detected at Stage I, the 5-year survival rate for breast cancer is approximately 99%. At Stage IV, it drops to around 28%.

That gap is why detection matters more than almost anything else.

Here's what I know as a Cancer Exercise Specialist: when you move your body consistently, you become more aware of it.

You notice changes.
You feel the difference between normal and not-normal.

Movement builds body awareness, and body awareness saves lives.

Share this post right now, with every person you love. It could save their life. That's not an exaggeration... it's a fact.

She asked me why...

And I sat there for a moment because I'd never actually let myself answer that question honestly.

It's not that I don't feel like I can.
It's just that crying means losing the one thing I've been white-knuckling since the moment I heard the words "you have cancer."

My composure.

For women, especially, we're conditioned from the time we're small to hold it together. To be steady. To be the ones other people can lean on.

Then cancer storms in, and suddenly everyone's watching to see how you're going to handle it. So you just... handle it.

You put your head down, and you keep moving because the alternative is admitting to yourself, to everyone, that the storm is real and it's winning.

Asking for help feels like that. Like proof that you can't handle it.

but here's what my therapist said that I haven't been able to stop thinking about:

"Needing help isn't proof that you're losing. It's proof that what you're carrying was never meant to be carried alone." 🤯

As survivors, we don't want pity.
We want normalcy.

We want to walk through the storm and look like we aren't being destroyed by it.

We want to go to every appointment, answer every "how are you feeling" with fine, drive home in silence, and still show up the next day like none of it happened... and we're remarkable for it.

BUT... It's costing us something.

The crying we won't do. The help we won't ask for. The grief we've been deferring since diagnosis, because there was always something more "urgent" to handle.

All of it is still there. Waiting.
And it doesn't go away because you try to outrun it... it just gets heavier.

You are allowed to cry.
You are allowed to ask for help.
You are allowed to grieve while you're still in the middle of it all.

Not because you're weak. Because you're human.
A storm doesn't change that.

If you've been holding your composure together and gritting your teeth for longer than you can remember, just know that I see you 🫂

I need to say something that might make some of your doctors uncomfortable.

For decades, cancer patients were told to rest. Avoid strenuous activity. Don't push yourself. Be careful.

That guidance came from a place of caution. But it also left millions of survivors weaker, more depressed, and less capable of tolerating and recovering from treatment.

In 2019, the American College of Sports Medicine convened a roundtable of international experts and formally updated their position: exercise is not only SAFE during cancer treatment... it is BENEFICIAL.

The research shows that exercise during treatment:
✅ Reduces cancer-related fatigue (the #1 complaint of survivors)
✅ Decreases anxiety and depression
✅ Improves treatment tolerance
✅ Supports cardiovascular health compromised by certain chemo agents
✅ Preserves muscle mass and bone density

So the next time your care team tells you to take it easy, ask them specifically what they mean. Ask if they're familiar with ACSM's exercise oncology guidelines. Ask for a referral to a Cancer Exercise Specialist.

You have the right to that conversation. You are the CEO of your body.

Save this post.
Send it to your oncology team.
Share this with someone who needs that gentle reminder to move.

Nobody eulogizes what cancer takes from you while you're still alive.

There's no funeral for the body you had before.
There's no moment where people gather and say "I know what this cost you."
There's no card that acknowledges the version of yourself that walked into treatment and never fully walked back out.

Instead you get: "You should be grateful it worked."

And you are.
God, you are.

But grateful and grieving are not mutually exclusive.

I lost things to treatment that don't show up on a pathology report. Things that don't get a diagnosis code. Things that nobody schedules a follow-up appointment to check on.

My body was the battlefield and somehow I'm supposed to celebrate the wreckage because the right side won.

Psychologists call the pressure to stay positive through legitimate loss 'toxic positivity' and it sounds like:
"At least they caught it."
"But you're still here."
"You're so strong."
"Everything happens for a reason."

Every single one of those sentences has been said with love, and every single one of them has the power to make you feel completely alone in a room full of people who care about you.

Your grief is not ingratitude.
Your anger is not weakness.
Your complicated feelings about a body that survived are not something you need to perform your way through.

You are allowed to be grateful that treatment saved your life WHILE you mourn what it cost you to get here.

Both, at the same time. Without apology.

If you've ever been handed "at least you're alive" when what you needed was "I know this was devastating"...
I see you. I am you. 🩶

Skin care is one of the "easier" preventable risks in survivorship care.

And most survivors have never been told to take it seriously until it's already a problem.

The 2026 Position Paper is clear about what a skin infection in your at-risk arm can do... and what you can do every single day to protect yourself.

This one is short, practical, and you're probably already doing it! 💪🤪

I've gotten really good at performing lately...
..or as my therapist tells me, I'm "masking."

The waiting room.
The white, sterile rooms.
The how are you feeling today?
Fine. I'm fine.

Not because I am... it's just easier than explaining what's actually underneath.

Because "I'm exhausted from being the person who keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop" isn't an answer people know how to respond to.

There's a term for what I'm describing: disenfranchised grief.

The psychologist Kenneth Doka coined it to describe losses that are real and significant but go unrecognized.

Losses that don't fit neatly into the world's acknowledged categories of mourning...

Like grieving a body you used to trust, or the version of yourself that existed before the diagnosis, or the feeling of safety that left and hasn't fully come back.

Nobody hands you a script for that kind of loss.

So being "strong" has become my default, my armor, the thing people expect from me before I even open my mouth.

But somewhere between walking through those doors and sitting in that chair, there's a version of me that just wants someone to notice without me having to say it first.

I think a lot of you know exactly what I mean.

If you've been "fine" longer than feels honest, I just want you to know I see you. 🩶

You wouldn't run a marathon without training for it, right?

So why do we send people into surgery completely unprepared, and then wonder why recovery takes so long?

Prehabilitation is the practice of building your body UP before going into the OR... so your body has more to give when the fight gets hard.

The research is clear:
📊 A 2013 study by Silver & Baima found that prehab reduced post-surgical complications and shortened hospital stays.
📊 A 2021 study by Stout NL, Fu JB, and Silver JK found that prehabilitation is the Gateway to Better Functional Outcomes for Individuals with Cancer.

The Prehab Method is my clinical framework for doing exactly this:

✅ Strength training to preserve lean muscle mass
✅ Cardiovascular conditioning to improve treatment tolerance
✅ Mobility work to prepare for surgery and reduce side effects
✅ Education so you understand WHY every rep matters

You deserve to walk into your surgery as strong as possible.

That's the Prehab Method.

Mother's Day in survivorship hits different.

For some of you, it's a celebration.
For others, it was complicated... fighting for more time, sitting with the fear of not being here, holding both gratitude and grief in the same hand.

If that's you, I see you.

I want you to know that every session I program, every modification I teach, every single time I say "you are the CEO of your body"... I'm saying it for you.

For the moms fighting to be here.
For the moms who made it.
And to honor the moms who are no longer with us.

You are why this community exists.

Drop a 🤍 below if you're moving for someone today, or just hold them quietly. Either way, the Foob Army sees you.
