Pouring Heart into Wine – Rhiannon Goodwin’s Peninsula Chapter

In this uplifting and genuine episode, Sophie sits down with Meagan and Heather, two remarkable women whose individual breast-cancer journeys brought them together and sparked the creation of BreastFoot Forward. 

They talk candidly about the challenges of diagnosis and treatment, how the experience changed them, and the unexpected blessing of a friendship formed in the trenches. 

Together, they’ve launched Breast Foot Forward to give back, creating care packages, community workshops, gentle movement and breath-work, and a space of connection for others navigating breast-cancer recovery on the Mornington Peninsula.

Breastfoot Forward is more than just a project, it’s about support, awareness, and reminding people that no one faces breast cancer alone.
