What does health mean after illness, cancer, or menopause? This video explores how to redefine health on your terms—especially for women over 40 navigating recovery, grief, or identity loss. In this video, I share the personal journey that forced me to redefine health after cancer, chemo-induced menopause, and the emotional weight that followed. I was in the best shape of my life when I was diagnosed—so what does that say about how we define “healthy”? For women over 40 rebuilding after a health crisis, the old version of health—based on control, perfection, or productivity—often doesn’t fit anymore. Instead, this video explores how to create a more aligned definition of health rooted in: ✔️ Self-awareness and intuition ✔️ Emotional healing and nervous system support ✔️ Grace on hard days—and rest without guilt ✔️ Energy that serves your present needs If you’ve found yourself questioning your body, your beliefs, or your worth after everything you’ve survived, you’re not alone. This isn’t about bouncing back—it’s about becoming whole in a new way. 👋 I'm Shannon, a certified integrative health coach, and I help women reclaim their strength, health, and sense of self after major life transitions. ✨ Start your journey to redefining health—on your terms. 📌 More support on your healing journey: → [Feeling Human Again After Illness] → [Homemade Sauerkraut for Gut Health] → [Grieving the Old You After Illness] 🌿 Blog + Free Tools: https://www.redefineyourradiance.com/post/beyond-survival-what-health-means-to-me-now 🧠 Subscribe for real-world holistic healing @RedefineYourRadiance 00:00 Introduction 00:48 What *Is* Health?

After a life-changing illness or diagnosis, many of us experience a deep, quiet grief—not for someone we lost, but for the version of ourselves that’s no longer here. This is called self grieving, and it’s a form of ambiguous grief that often goes unspoken.

In this video, I’m sharing 5 gentle but powerful practices that supported my own healing after illness—and may help you begin reconnecting with who you are now. This is for anyone navigating grief after illness, identity shifts, and the emotional and spiritual terrain of recovery. You’ll find support for your healing journey, tools for reclaiming your identity, and a reminder that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 💜 Whether you're surviving, thriving, or simply showing up—your journey matters.

Most store-bought dairy-free yogurts leave a lot to be desired—they're often thin, full of gums and sweeteners, and strangely expensive for something so simple. I stopped eating them, and in this video, I’ll show you what I do instead. This creamy, 2-ingredient yogurt is now a staple in my kitchen. It’s affordable, satisfying, and doesn’t require a fancy starter culture or dairy. Just soybeans, water, and good microbes doing their thing. As a breast cancer survivor and integrative health coach, I used to avoid soy. But research now shows that whole soy foods (like this yogurt) may support hormone balance and lower recurrence risk for some cancers. All you need is:✔️ Unsweetened soy milk (just soybeans + water)✔️ A couple probiotic capsules or a spoonful of yogurt from a previous batch✔️ An Instant Pot (or another yogurt maker) 🌱 Easy. Nourishing. No gums. No dairy. No fuss.🫐 Bonus ideas for toppings + uses included! And what to do with the whey! Got questions about probiotics, plant-based healing, or hormone balance after illness?
