Cancer Survivor Series Part 4: How Breast Cancer Saved Her Life… Celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Tanya Engesether

Her Renewed Strength | Bible Study, Christian Theology, Christian Women

Welcome back to the show and to our final episode in the Cancer Survivor Series. This episode is very special because, as you may know, October is officially breast cancer awareness month and I wanted to bring someone onto the show who has walked through the refining fire of breast cancer. So, I decided to bring on my friend, podcasting peer, and our sister in Christ, Tanya Engesether.

Tanya is no stranger to the HRS Community! She was a guest speaker for 2023 RENEWED Conference. Her session was titled “From Bashful to Bold in Leadership: Making the Journey from Head to Heart” and it was extremely encouraging, especially for women in leadership roles. This is your friendly reminder to register, absolutely free! REgistering gets you 30 days of free access to all ten sessions, including my live session, titled, “Awaiting Eternity: Living in the Tension of the Already and Not Yet,” during which I’ll unpack the tension believers experience as sojourners in a world that isn't our home, how this affects our daily lives, and what we can do to navigate this tension in God-honoring ways. You’ll have access to that replay for 30 days, too! We start November 4th! Head to herrenewedstrength.com/conference for full speaker schedule and to get registered for free!

In this conversation with Tanya, we actually went completely unscripted lol not even an outline, which is not common for me. Tanya shared how she found the mass, the road to getting diagnosed with breast cancer, what her treatment included, and how her life completely changed for the better. This was actually quite therapeutic, which Tanya mentions during our conversation. There were moments when we admitted things we hadn’t publicly said . . . or in some cases, ever said. Tanya also shared her advice for anyone who navigating a rough road.

For those who don’t know Tanya, let me tell you a little about her.

Guest’s bio: Tanya Engesether is a wife, mom, leader, Certified Christian Life Coach, podcaster, and breast cancer survivor.

Tanya is a self-described, recovering, people-pleaser who spent most of her life and career trying to find worthiness through achievement. She spent decades pouring herself into her work, only to find herself feeling unfulfilled and burned out. It wasn’t until she truly claimed her identity in Christ and started to understand what it means to be a Child of God that she found freedom from approval seeking. God has shown her a new way of living and leading, in partnership with Him.

Tanya is passionate about helping other women gain a heart-knowledge of who they are in Christ, become fueled by grace and find freedom from people-pleasing so that they can create more time for the things that matter most.
