Taking risks after cancer isn’t about proving anything to anyone. It’s about choosing the life you want, without the weight of fear dictating your decisions. It’s about recognizing that while you didn’t get a choice in having cancer, you do get a choice in how you live beyond it.

For a young woman diagnosed with breast cancer and navigating PTSD, embracing risk—whether big or small—can be a crucial part of healing. It’s not about being reckless for the sake of it. It’s about taking control of your story and saying, “I’m still here, and I’m going to make the most of it.”

I recently had the incredible opportunity to appear on the new show Flawed, hosted by the amazing Spencer Barbosa and produced by MAKERS. My episode airs April 24th on Bell Fibe TV and the Fibe TV App, and I can’t wait for you to see it!

The show is all about celebrating the things we’re told to hide, the parts of ourselves that don’t always fit the mold — and in my case, that meant sharing my story of choosing aesthetic flat closure after breast cancer. Society often tells breast cancer survivors that reconstructive surgery is the “natural next step,” the expected path to reclaiming an "acceptable silhouette." But what if that version of “recovery” doesn’t feel right?

Breast cancer awareness isn’t just for October; it’s a conversation that needs to happen all year long. The "Know More" campaign with Breast Cancer Canada is a step toward making that happen, and I’m honored to be part of it.

My name is Beth. I am a 34 year old mother of 3, Olivia (16), Jack (9), and Charlee (2), and am currently engaged to the most supportive man on the planet, Matt. We live in Cambridge, after moving from Oakville the spring after Charlee was born. Moving got us closer to our friend group and we were incredibly grateful for that decision (and support network) once I was diagnosed. ⁠

Thrilled to have joined Ben O'Hara-Byrne on A Little More Conversation through Global News Corus Entertainment radio stations to tell my story and highlight our Not Too Young Photo Essay Campaign for Dense Breasts Canada

Beth Marchant, a mother of three living in Cambridge, Ont., learned of her breast cancer diagnosis at age 32 through an emailed alert about her ultrasound results. Cases like hers are raising questions about whether it's appropriate for a patient to be given a serious diagnosis through a digital message, before speaking to a doctor. (Turgut Yeter/CBC)

To mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Dense Breasts Canada is presenting NOT TOO YOUNG, a photo essay by award-winning photographer Hilary Gauld which portrays the stories of 10 young women told they were too young for breast cancer. The work will launch on DBC’s website and social media on September 26th.

In this episode, we delve into the inspiring story of Bethan Marchant, a graphic designer and mom of three who went from having breast implants to beating stage 3 breast cancer. In a society that often equates physical appearance with self-worth, Beth's decision to undergo breast augmentation seemed like a natural choice. However, her life took an unexpected turn when she received the diagnosis that rocked her world. Throughout this episode, Beth opens up about the emotional and physical struggles she faced during her battle with breast cancer. Beth's story is not only about overcoming a life-threatening illness; it's about redefining beauty, self-acceptance, and the power of self-love.

Got a case of mom guilt? You’re not alone.

Alongside this great panel at the Bump, Baby, & Toddler Show, we discuss Mom Guilt and how society needs to change in order to better support mothers, and how to start changing the expectations and mental load we carry on the daily.

This past year, we tested ALL of my parenting skills as I was diagnosed with Stage 3 metaplastic breast cancer at 32 years old.

Join me on May 28th as I join a panel at the Bump Baby & Toddler Expo to discuss Mom Guilt, and how I work at shrugging off the societal expectations that cause it!

Today we are speaking to the amazing Beth Marchant. She is a graphic designer, business owner, and survivor of financial abuse. Beth was gracious enough to spend some time with us and share her survival story.

Speaking on Default Parenting and the invisible loads of motherhood, I was honored to join these great panelists on the Momfest Stage.
