Solo Ep 1: How a Cancer Patient Can Respond to Bad Advice

October 21, 2025

When you share your diagnosis, everyone suddenly has something to say — a “miracle cure,” a diet to try, or the dreaded “stay positive.” Most mean well, but their words can land like blame instead of comfort.

In this episode, Joelle Kaufman shares how to protect your peace and power when good people give bad advice. You’ll learn simple, real-life ways to handle unhelpful comments without guilt — and without losing yourself in the process.

???? You’ll Learn:

  • The 3 most common mistakes people make when talking to cancer patients
  • How to set boundaries with compassion and confidence
  • Simple phrases to steer conversations without confrontation

You can’t control what people say — but you can control what you let land.
Cancer may be in the room, but it doesn’t get to dominate the room or take your power.????️ Hosted by Joelle Kaufman — founder of Kicking Cancer’s Ass, your guide to reclaiming your power, even with cancer in the room.
