Episode12: Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop

from The New Normal · host Spencer Parsons

After going through something life-changing, you’d think the fear would eventually go away.But for me, it didn’t.In this episode, I talk about the moment I realized I might not be as “out of the woods” as I thought — and how that changed the way I see my health and my future.From that point on, I started noticing every little symptom. My mind would jump from something small to something serious, convincing me that it wasn’t a matter of if something would happen again… but when.I share what that fear actually feels like, the two voices in my head that constantly battle each other, and how I’ve learned to live with that tension.This isn’t about having all the answers.It’s about being honest about what it feels like to move forward when part of you is still waiting for the next bad thing to happen.
