Second Wind: Rebuilding Your Sex Life After Cancer | Juni Bucher
When you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, sex is often the last thing on your mind. There are many different factors that may affect your sex life. Some of these factors include the type of cancer you have, what type of treatment you are receiving, how long you are going through treatment, and whether or not you have any side effects. You could be feeling so fatigued that you can’t even think about sex.
In this candid episode with my guest Juni Bucher, we're discussing this taboo subject and learn how to rediscover your sexual self as a cancer survivor.
Juni is a breast cancer survivor. Her first hand experience handling her new normal caused her to see things differently. Eventually it led her to completely change her life and career after her diagnosis. She is now a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and certified meditation teacher, with a focus on the holistic side of healing. Juni also is the host of her own podcast: TATA, Cancer!
