A cancer diagnosis is life-changing. For individuals navigating breast cancer, the focus often centers on survival—completing treatment, managing side effects, and getting back to “normal.” But for many survivors, what follows is far from familiar. The emotional, physical, and relational impacts of cancer can linger long after treatment ends, especially when it comes to sexual health and intimacy.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Tiffini Sharifi, a licensed professional counselor and certified sex therapist. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand and navigate the intersection of breast cancer survivorship and sexual health.
