Meet Betty Jean 

Author. Speaker. Founder of Living Life Over Cancer

I am a Stage IV breast cancer thriver and integrative wellness advocate who chose not only to survive, but to live intentionally.

 

Through mindset, nourishment, movement, and self-advocacy, I focus on daily practices that build cancer resilience in the face of uncertainty.

 

As the author of RISE: Living Life Over Cancer, I share practical tools and lived experience to support survivors, caregivers, and anyone seeking grounded strength while navigating cancer or survivorship.

 

Self-care is the new Health Care.
