How to Handle Curveballs in Your Healing Journey

Season 3 of the FWD Think Tank kicking off talking about how to handle the curveballs that life throws at you while on your healing journey. This was not an easy episode to record, as I have had some big hurdles the past few months. If you are on a cancer healing journey and find yourself faced with news you weren't hoping to hear, a scan result that brings emotional charges, blood work that isn't what you'd hoped to see, this episode is for you. After spending some time off of social media after going through an unexpected second surgery this summer, I've put some thoughts together on how to help others navigate a health hurdle including focusing on facts first, processing and moving THROUGH your feelings and not internalizing them, the importance of protecting your peace and not oversharing your journey in the moment if that feels stressful for you, the NECESSITY of advocating for yourself because on YOU know your body, why it's important to relinquish control, move at your own pace and let God guide you forward when you feel like you can't do it on your own, and the importance of finding moments of JOY despite the heartaching moments of setback. If this episode resonated with you, PLEASE share it. It means the world to me.
