Episode 119: The 2am Spiral

The 2am Spiral | The Cancer Journey Podcast | Episode 119Nobody tells you that the hardest part of a cancer diagnosis isn't the diagnosis itself.It's the noise that comes after. The urgent need to understand everything, decide everything, control something. Anything. The internet spiral at 2am. The feeling that if you just push hard enough, you'll get ahead of it.In this episode, Shariann shares what that frenzy actually felt like after her own diagnosis. And why going faster made everything harder, not easier.She and Alicia talk about what slowing down really means when the stakes are this high. Not deep breaths and moving softer. The kind of slowing down that takes real courage when everything in you is wired to go.One of our coaches said it best: "This is urgent. I must slow down."If that lands for you, this episode is yours.New episodes every week.
