271. From Chemo to Curtain Calls, Radiation to Regattas: This Is Survivorship

In this inspiring episode, host Laura Carfang, Ed.D. sits down with Tara Hoffmann of Recovery on Water and Miranda Baldwin, co-producer of Breast in Show. Together they explore life eight years after breast cancer — from navigating long-term side effects and hormonal therapy to finding joy, movement, and connection through rowing and burlesque.

This is not just survivorship — it’s strength, sisterhood, and self-expression.

In This Episode:

• The power of exercise and rowing as tools for healing after treatment
• Navigating hormonal therapies, side effects, and quality of life decisions
• Endometriosis after breast cancer treatment — what survivors should know
• Creating empowering spaces through movement and art
• Building connection and confidence through community-led initiatives like ROW and Breast in Show
• The upcoming Head of the Charles Regatta featuring the Recovery on Water team
• How Breast in Show blends humor, art, and advocacy to raise funds for survivors
