Navigate Cancer: Coaching for Resilience (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798993448695)

"We may not choose our hardships, but we can always choose how we respond ... a powerful guide to reclaiming agency, even in the face of illness." Edith Eger, New York Times bestselling author.

This empowering book encourages you to see cancer not solely as a medical challenge, but as a profound opportunity to honour the resilience of your human spirit, embrace growth, and reclaim control of your life. It also speaks to caregivers, healthcare professionals, and organisations committed to offering meaningful support.

At the heart of the book is the Cancer Compass(TM), a practical self-leadership framework developed by Teresa Ferreiro-Vilariño to help people navigate cancer with greater awareness, choice, and agency. The six compass stages reflect emotional phases many people experience during and after cancer-or any major life disruption-and together offer a powerful roadmap for personal growth:

1. Self-Discovery - Reflect on your unique experience, explore how cancer may reshape relationships, identity, and values, and reconnect with your needs.
2. Choice - Reclaim your inner strength and envision the person you want to be during this chapter of your life.
3. Empowerment - Gain valuable insights into cancer-specific coaching, supported by years of research and practical experience.
4. Self-Leadership - Explore key areas of your life, including your relationship with your body, career, and intimacy, and make conscious choices about your future.
5. Purpose - Discover how you and the organisations around you can help normalise cancer and create more supportive, inclusive environments.
6. Freedom - Embrace a new sense of personal freedom, built through courage, acceptance, and a renewed perspective on life.

Throughout the book, Teresa Ferreiro-Vilariño challenges and inspires readers to shift their perspective, prioritising personal empowerment, connection, and purposeful living. Deeply practical in its approach, it includes reflective exercises and tools designed to help readers access their inner resources, build secure bases, and navigate cancer with greater confidence.
