Description: In this weeks episode, Kerry Coyle opens up about her emotional journey through stage 3 breast cancer, parenting as a single mom, the trauma of losing her own mother young, and the courage it took to rebuild her entire life from scratch. Kerry shares how cancer became a breaking point and a turning point — pushing her to leave a 20-year career, launch two new businesses (The Curative & The Tox Delray), embrace vulnerability, and finally live a life aligned with who she truly is. This conversation is raw, funny, emotional, inspiring, and deeply relatable for any woman who has faced adversity, motherhood challenges, divorce, or reinvention. If you’re navigating your own transformation or healing journey… this episode may be exactly what you need. 💗 Follow me on IG : https://www.instagram.com/keeshawscott   00:00 – Introduction 03:11 – Discovering the Lump & Immediate Fear 05:45 – Double Mastectomy & Lymph Node Concerns 06:49 – Going Through Cancer While Dating Someone New 07:50 – Asking for Help During COVID Restrictions 09:46 – The Hardest Part: Parenting Through Cancer 11:38 – Determined to Not Look “Sick” 13:07 – Fear of Recurrence & Mental Health After Treatment 14:21 – How Cancer Changed Her as a Parent 15:44 – Feeling “The Best” During Treatment Through Lifestyle Changes 17:06 – Why Post-Cancer Was Harder Than Chemo 18:53 – Reinventing Her Life After Cancer 20:07 – Launching The Curative & The Tox 22:23 – What Lymphatic Bodywork Actually Does 25:33 – Finding Fulfillment in Her New Work 26:05 – Co-Parenting With Intention After Divorce 28:06 – Motherhood, Insecurities & Keeping It Real 31:26 – The Car Line Story You Have to Hear 33:52 – Letting Go of Perfection & Being Yourself 36:02 – The Cake Segment: Closing Moments & Laughter
