How She Changed Her Life After Cancer & Diabetes with Gretchen Holmes

We sit down with a courageous woman who faced cancer, diabetes, and obesity — and found her way back to herself through radical self-love and inner work. This isn't just a story about hitting rock bottom or celebrating the "after" photo. It's about everything in between. She shares the real, raw truth about what it takes to transform your life when your body is breaking down and your spirit is tired. Her journey is a powerful reminder that it's not about where you start or how quickly you get to the other side — it's about the work, the choices, and the fierce self-love you commit to every single day. All healing uncovers the truth of who we are and raises our vibration/frequency to bring ourselves fully into ourselves (embodiment). This in turn allows us to use our gifts to guide others. It shows us the way to Heaven on Earth. _____ Disclaimer: Views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of guests and do not necessarily reflect views and positions of Awakening Soul Divinity Podcast. _____ Have a question about this video or for Caroline or Gretchen?
