Cancer-The Wake-Up Call

In March of 2012 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and began my own healing journey. After learning a lot about 

self-care, health and wellness I wanted to share what I have learned to other women who were also going through a similar experience.

For me I know that Cancer may have shown up because of a multitude of reasons but I believe stress was a big factor.  I was unhappy about traveling for work all year, chronically ill, not eating very well, overweight and too afraid to let go of my income from traveling out of state for work.  When the doctor said to me “you have cancer” it was a wake-up call which has lead me to create a new vision for myself and build a new life.  I now feel 100 percent committed to my personal wellness while I create a business in Michigan which brings together all my gifts and passions to help others in a new way.

Lately my biggest why in life is to share how good it feels to be healthy and when in doubt to follow your heart.  I want to encourage women to opt-in after a cancer diagnosis, not as a victim, but as a warrior and not just waiting for the next shoe to drop. We can do so much to help ourselves feel better even when we have something like cancer.  It it's not easy to make a shift from feeling powerlessness towards personal empowerment but the benefits out way the work it takes to be thrivers not just survivors.
