<![CDATA[Cancer, Chemo & Currywurst]]>Cancer, Chemo & Currywurst is a podcast about the part of cancer no one prepares you for...the afterlife. 

When the appointments slow down and the support drops off. When everyone expects relief, but you feel unsettled, different, or quietly anxious. When your body doesn’t feel predictable anymore and your identity feels like it’s shifting under your feet.

I’m Fleur, a trauma and somatic coach who has lived this too, an English woman living the expat live in Berlin. 


Here we talk about the psychological aftermath of cancer, the nervous system patterns that linger long after chemo, the grief that hides inside comparison and jealousy, and the strange, beautiful task of rebuilding a life that actually fits who you are now.

Some episodes are just me, speaking honestly about the messy middle. Some are conversations with guests who understand what it means to be reshaped by something life-altering.

This is not a space for warrior narratives or forced positivity. It is a space for truth, nuance, curiosity, and learning how to live fully in a body and life that feel different.

If you are navigating life after cancer and want language, understanding and real conversation, you are in the right place.

A deeper look!]]>Welcome to another episode of the Moxie Musings podcast. Today, I'm delving into the fascinating world of confidence. 
What does confidence mean to you?

 Is it a destination, an identity, or something more fluid and dynamic? In this episode, we challenge common perceptions of confidence and explore the various facets of this powerful trait.

Confidence isn't a one-size-fits-all concept; it's a multifaceted quality that manifests differently in various situations and for different people.

Discover why courage is the underdog of confidence and how stepping into courage is the first step toward building lasting self-assurance. 

But here's the twist: rather than just offering the usual confidence-boosting tactics you've heard before, I'm flipping the coin. 

Think of confidence as a dial – it's there, but it varies in intensity across different areas of your life. Where would you like to turn up that dial a bit? Identifying those areas might be easy or challenging, but it's an essential step toward growth.

Confidence is deeply personal and shows up uniquely for each of us. Whether it's the confidence to speak in front of a crowd or order a drink in a foreign language, your language and self-identity play a significant role in shaping your confidence.
