Next BRCA -Café (BRCafé) is coming up!

This time it's in Wakefield. I am hoping that our b***s will have arrived by then, so you can have a go at feeling for lumps yourself. There will also be some handouts on how to do this properly at home! Excited 😆!

If you are unsure if Breast Cancer Gene Mutations (BRCA+) are a thing for you, we have put together this little quiz, that will provide you with some clarity as to what a next step for you might be. This service is free!

Helping to save even just one life would make everything worthwhile!

But I WILL 💪 - reach as many people as I possibly can in 2026 with a minimum of 1 event every month, be that in person, podcasts, speaker opportunities, radio, dare I say TV??

I WILL 💪 - build a meaningful platform that is education, understanding, connection and hope!

Here is to empowerment, choices and change!

ShiFt will Happen!!!

2026 WILL make a difference! I can feel it in my waters, 😆 xx

Myth: “If it’s not in your family tree, you’re fine.”
Fact: Around half of BRCA+ carriers don’t have a dramatic or obvious family history. The gene can run quietly for generations, especially when families are small, male-heavy, or when loved ones simply weren’t tested.

Cancer Research UK confirms that family history can be misleading. It doesn’t always reflect who carries the faulty gene.

Finding out you’re BRCA+ can feel confusing when it seems to “come out of nowhere,” but you’re not alone, there's a whole lot of us out there.

Genetics don’t always follow the stories we expect.

If you’ve just had results and you’re thinking, “What the hell?”, message me. Let’s walk it together.

Shift Happens,
Nicky.

Right. Deep breath moment.
BRCAthrough™ has made it into the Top 10 finalists for the Rising Star Awards. 🤯

I’m not some big shiny brand with a team behind me. It’s just me — building something I believe needs to exist.
A space where BRCA+ doesn’t feel like a diagnosis that defines you, but a starting point for clarity, compassion and connection.

This work — and the bigger vision behind it, BRCare Connect CIC — is about creating something that fills the gaps I know too well.

Real, human support for people navigating life with a faulty BRCA+ gene. Because it’s not just about surgery or risk — it’s about identity, grief, family, and the messy bits no one prepares you for.

The judges’ scores make up 80%, and the final 20% comes down to public votes.
So if you believe this is something worth building — something the world actually needs — I’d love your vote! Xx

There I was, just having a go, and suddenly I’m laughing like a kid again. And you know what? That’s the bit BRCA+ will never take from me – the fun, the silliness, the spark that makes me me.

Life throws some pretty heavy stuff at us, but it doesn’t get to steal our laughter. So if you needed a little nudge today – go and do the daft, joyful thing. Dance in your kitchen, sing badly in the car, grab a hula hoop if you’ve got one! It really does make everything feel a bit lighter.

Chatting the messy shiFt, always. — Nicky xx

You know what Jakey’s got nailed? The art of the pause. She just sprawls out in the sunshine without a second thought — no guilt, no to-do list running through her head.

When you’re BRCA+, it feels like there’s always something hanging over you — appointments, choices, those heavy ‘what ifs.’ And because of that, it’s so easy to forget yourself and just keep powering on.

But here’s the thing: you can’t pour from an empty cup. Taking a breather isn’t selfish — it’s survival. It’s strength. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is flop on the sofa, close your eyes, and give yourself permission to rest.

So if Jakey can do it without shame, maybe we can too.💜☕
