In this powerful episode, Dr. Mikel Segal welcomes Carrie Bradley, a journalist-turned-health coach, massage therapist, and cancer survivor, to share her inspiring story of resilience, transformation, and self-discovery.
🧠 Carrie opens up about her colorectal cancer diagnosis at 44, challenging the myth that only unhealthy people get sick. Her experience led her to redefine wellness, prioritize self-care, and embrace mindful movement over intense exercise.
📚 Influenced by Gabor Maté’s When the Body Says No, Carrie learned to set boundaries, listen to her body, and live authentically and courageously—a message she now shares in her coaching for midlife women.
📝 She also shares a simple yet profound 5-part gratitude journaling practice and how small, consistent actions helped her maintain wellness through treatment. Find her @carriejobradley on IG. Or on the Plucky Not Perfect Podcast on Apple or Spotify.
💬 Feeling stuck or burnt out in midlife? You’re not alone. Start by asking: What does courageous living look like for me today?
