Jonny Imerman: Approaching Cancer Treatment Through Vulnerability And Connection
from Grateful Goddesses · host Grateful Goddesses
Persistence and resilience are qualities we all have inside of us. It is challenging to bring these qualities out, especially when faced with illness and when having no support. Connection with others is vital to helping individuals deal and better cope with a diagnosis. As my 10-year "Cancerversary" approaches this April 1st, I wanted to air this episode with Guest Goddess Jonny Imerman from Imerman Angels. When I was diagnosed, I was scared, confused, and feeling alone. Even though I had my husband and family support me, I still felt isolated in my mind as they really didn't understand what I was going through mentally and physically. They were helpful and comforting but could not relate. What really saved me during this time was Imerman angels. I was connected to this organization by a friend. I was screened and paired up with several individuals who were just like me—similar cancer, age, children, lifestyle. I was able to really open up and ask all the questions I had to help me deal with this diagnosis, including how to talk to my children, how to prepare for treatment, how to lower stress in my life, as well as just to be a listening ear. My angels were on call 24/7 to help me whenever I needed that support- they were a phone call away. After I was cancer-free for two years, I was able to be an angel myself. I connected with several people and one in particular, who I continue to be friends with today. Join us in conversation with Jonny and Victoria (I'm an angel for) to learn about the importance of teamwork, connection, being vulnerable, and open so we can all help each other to cope. As Jonny says, "by connecting with people and sharing wisdom, we can help to pull them across the finish line so they can win their life back." Let's all help each other across that finish line to win the race! Love the show?
