Hello, I'm Geri
I am a cancer survivor.
Cancer is hard, scary and lonely. Hearing the words "you have cancer" stops you in your tracks and changes your life forever.
Although the physical wounds of breast cancer are visible and demand immediate treatment, the emotional trauma from a diagnosis deserves the same dedicated attention. The wounds of mind and spirit can linger invisibly, weighing heavy on the cancer warrior.
Unfortunately, mental health support is often overlooked in the cancer care journey. It is my mission to advocate for comprehensive services that heal the whole self, mind, body and spirit.
My book, "Beautiful Lady," offers essential tools and new perspectives to help cancer warriors navigate emotional challenges by transforming negative emotions like fear and anger into courage and self-confidence.
Beautiful Lady
In Beautiful Lady, author Geri Maroney bares her heart and soul to inspire other women who are also battling cancer's relentless grip on their lives. With unwavering honesty and a refreshing dose of humor, she shares her own powerful story as a testament to the astonishing strength of the human spirit.
Beautiful Lady is more than just a book, it is a rallying cry, a guiding light, and a salve for the wounded soul. Through Geri's eyes, cancer warriors will find the courage, clarity and compassion needed to navigate this storm and emerge transformed.
Her words are a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always a path forward, one that leads to wholeness, empowerment and the reclamation of self.
A key feature of the book is the inclusion of guided journal prompts within each chapter. These journal exercises are designed to help the reader honestly and vulnerably process the emotional challenges they face on their cancer journey.
By working through these prompts, the reader can begin to understand and release the emotional trauma associated with their diagnosis. Using journaling as a healing tool, the reader can begin to realign their thoughts in a healthier, more positive direction, allowing them to gradually rediscover a renewed sense of happiness and appreciation for life, even while navigating the difficulties of cancer.

I recommend Beautiful Lady to anyone touched by cancer or other threatening illness.

Beautiful Lady is not only for cancer warriors, but for LIFE warriors. It is a book that is written with great emotion and honesty. This book helped me to refocus on what is important in life. It is beautiful, heartbreaking, but yet so inspiring! We are all warriors in some way or another.
Inspiring Courage
As a cancer survivor, I've experienced the profound emotional toll that a diagnosis can take. When I heard the words "you have cancer," my world was shattered.
While the physical wounds demanded immediate treatment, the invisible wounds of the mind and spirit weighed heavily, often overlooked in the cancer care journey.
Through my book "Beautiful Lady," I share my deeply personal story to inspire and empower other women facing this battle. With raw honesty, relatable humor, and hard-earned wisdom, I guide readers on a transformative journey - from the initial fear and uncertainty, to reclaiming their courage, strength and joy.
My role as a writer allows me to be a voice for the cancer community, advocating for comprehensive support that heals the whole person.
By sharing my story, I aim to provide a beacon of hope and the essential tools needed to navigate the emotional storm of cancer.
Other Resources
The physical and emotional challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis are a brutal dual assault, one that threatens to shatter the very core of our being. Strong emotions like fear, anger, anxiety, and loss of self-esteem are part of this unfortunate journey.
Many cancer warriors describe a flood of overwhelming feelings and they are not sure how to deal with them. Often they try to push these feelings aside in the hopes they will go away.
But, they won't go away until we HEAL them. Healing the emotional wounds from a cancer diagnosis is as important as healing the physical wounds so we can come through this terrible storm "wholly healed", with body, mind, and spirit is sync.
Let's rise above the storm to reclaim our courage, strength and joy!
I'll show you the way!
