When did life become so hard? As a little girl, fantasized about what my life would be like one day, never would I have imagined a world where there was so much hate (I am sure you have read about the woman in Lake Arrowhead who displayed a pride flag - simply to support ALL people, only to be shot and killed by some fucking lunatic), a deeply ignorant and divided country, or that disease and illness would be plaguing so many.

Episode Description
When did life become so hard?
As a little girl, fantasized about what my life would be like one day, never would I have imagined a world where there was so much hate (I am sure you have read about the woman in Lake Arrowhead who displayed a pride flag - simply to support ALL people, only to be shot and killed by some fucking lunatic), a deeply ignorant and divided country, or that disease and illness would be plaguing so many.
And the disease I am specifically talking about is Cancer.
This week's episode of the podcast was an impromptu conversation with myself inspired by a text from a good friend.
I was minding my own business when she texted me about her 29-year-old son who was recently diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer.
WTF...he's 29!
During our 45-minute text conversation, she confessed to not being able to eat or sleep. Understandably so!
And that got me thinking more about self-care and how women like you and I put ourselves, our well-being, and our health aside to care for everyone around us.
It's selfless and brave and the more I marinated this, the more I embraced the importance of those simple daily rituals that I try and practice every morning.
In this week’s episode, I am sharing how I got through my cancer diagnosis, why believing in the power of connecting your heart, mind, and soul can be the answer to positivity, and why I don’t want you to wait for something tragic to happen in order for you to pursue your dreams.
