60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday: Casting for Recovery: An Essential Episode for the Women’s Breast Cancer Community with Jeff Ikler & Diane Wyzga

Hello to you listening in Chesaning, Michigan!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Recently, I had the pleasure of sharing the mic as co-host with my friend, colleague, podcast host, author, and genuinely curious human being, Jeff Ikler, Quetico Coaching  about the mission of Casting for Recovery. CFR is a national nonprofit serving women with breast cancer using the therapeutic sport of fly fishing. Our guest is Susan Gaetz, the executive director for Casting for Recovery.

If you are curious to learn how this remarkable idea was launched, and how 30 years later CFR continues to help comfort, support, and heal women battling breast cancer, this very special episode is for you. Join us!  

Three Highlights:

• Healing Through Nature: Casting for Recovery offers unique retreats specifically designed for women breast cancer survivors. By combining fly fishing with oncology support, these getaways provide a chance for women to reconnect with nature, build confidence, and find solace in a supportive community.

• The Power of Fly Fishing: More than just a hobby, fly fishing offers therapeutic benefits for recovering women. The gentle act of casting helps with physical rehabilitation and provides a welcome distraction, keeping both mind and body active.

• Beyond the Reel: Casting for Recovery goes beyond the basics of fly fishing. Their approach focuses on empowering women, building competence and comfort in the outdoors, and fostering lasting connections among survivors.
