I AM Rising Season 2, Episode 2; "The In-Between"
In this 2nd episode, I go a little deeper in sharing my journey through a life-threatening breast cancer diagnosis and 2 and a half year recovery. I read a journal entry of when I was in the darkest of times. This was after surgeries and chemotherapy and I felt dead on the inside just as much as the outside. Some things I talk about are:

• • Once cancer is in the body it’s a wake up call; a calling to go inside.

  • Breathing new life to those parts that shut down/closed.

  • How we build up walls and create identities to protect ourselves

  • Cancer as a punishment vs cancer as a gift; how I slowly got there

  • Shame/guilt, embarrassment, closure, giving power away, and how toxic this is to the body.

  • How to feel whole vibrant alive again after severe trauma.

  • The choice to surrender.

  • What is the true medicine? How to navigate resistance.

  • Last few moments invitation to breathe, open, and drop in to embrace yourself. What new commitment can you make for yourself?
