Todays’ guest is someone who has had a big impact on my life and career, it’s thanks to her I started my journey in the fitness sector. What Yvette doesn’t know about health and fitness isn’t worth knowing, she has been an inspiration to me and many others. I first met Yvette at a job interview, which she got and subsequently she then became my boss as I got the job as a trainee trainer at that gym! Since that day Yvette encouraged me to go further, helping me get my qualification as a PT and was even my examiner. She is an amazing yoga teacher and holistic therapist and is just an all-round health guru! All that said, today I haven’t invited Yvette on the show to talk about her life as a teacher/practitioner. Sadly, Yvette quite recently got diagnosed with breast cancer and has had a single mastectomy. This show is aimed at helping women with endo, but I do think it is important to talk about other important issues that affect women particularly. What I have loved about what Yvette has gone through is that she has documented her whole journey on Instagram and in true Yvette style it’s been very upbeat, despite what she has gone through.
In this episode we cover:
· How Yvette was diagnosed
· How she dealt with the diagnosis mentally.
· How she documented her journey and why she wanted to do that.
· The medication she has been given and why as a holistic practitioner, she finds that the most difficult part of her experience with breast cancer.
· Yvette’s advice on how to get through breast cancer.
· Yvette’s advice on exercise pre and post op.
· How to surround yourself with the right people, who can best help you.
·
Here is the link to her Instagram where she covers her journey with breast cancer.
