27: My Breast Cancer Story

Today is a very special episode of the Grateful Warrior Podcast. I'm celebrating my breast cancer survivorversary, so I'm sharing my breast cancer story, the story behind the story, and the events I have never shared publicly. I will also share what it was really like to be engaged, gain a stepson and go through treatment simultaneously. Today is going to be a little more raw and a little more unplugged.


Together we unpack:

• Before my diagnosis (3:16)
• The morning I found my lump (4:50)
• Pushing for answers (5:30)
• Becoming a cancer patient, a fiancé, and a soon-to-be stepmother (7:28)
• Testing, waiting, and more waiting (9:56)
• To chemo or not to chemo (15:27)
• Becoming a coconut head (19:46)
• Navigating the emotions with life changes (24:21)
• Entering step-motherhood (27:35)
• Rock bottom brokenness (30:00)
• The end of radiation (35:28)

 
Breast cancer was my gift, and this is my story. What is your story? If you or someone you love is going through treatment or is a survivor, I'm here to be your gratitude coach and mentor on this journey with you.
