This episode marks a significant milestone—celebrating 13 years since I discovered a lump in my breast that resulted in a cancer diagnosis. The journey has been both challenging and enlightening, marked by two major hurdles that I had to overcome: navigating conflicting thoughts and pushing the boundaries of wellness.

Over the years, I have grappled with the internal struggle of holding onto conflicting thoughts.

On one hand, I firmly believe in my ability to heal and improve my health through dedicated effort and lifestyle changes.

On the other hand, the pervasive thought that cancer is an incurable disease has cast a shadow over my optimism from time to time.

There were times when this duality made it difficult to fully commit to my healing beliefs. In this episode, I delve into the strategies and mindsets that helped me reconcile these opposing thoughts and move forward with a balanced perspective.

The second significant aspect of my journey involved pushing the boundaries of wellness.

I adopted a rigorous regimen of healthy eating, regular exercise, and stress management techniques. These efforts yielded promising results, showing improvements in my tumor markers and PET scans.

But sometimes, curiosity and a desire to be “normal” led me to test the limits by temporarily reverting to less healthy habits.

Throughout this episode, I share my experiences, insights, and the lessons learned from this journey.

By reflecting on the importance of mental resilience and the tangible effects of lifestyle changes, I hope to inspire and guide others in navigating their paths to recovery. Join me as we explore the complexities of healing, the power of positive thinking, and the crucial role of wellness in overcoming breast cancer.
