Molly, Stage 1

Throw your fit, then put your big girl panties on. Feel life when it’s hard, but don’t stay there. Go find your happiness. These are bold words from Molly Fulton, who shared with us, her beautiful story about overcoming trauma and learning how to be grateful for a breast cancer diagnosis. When Molly enlisted in the Navy, she was told she'd be a good fit as a Naval Secretary, but she knew she wanted more, and eventually, she served in the Navy as an Airman. Life was moving right along when, at only 19 years old, she lost her first child while she was 5 months pregnant. The heartache continued when, just a few months later, her mother passed away. After spending some time in Arizona and giving birth to two amazing children, Molly moved back to the east coast with her kids, hoping to provide them with better education, and escaping an abusive marriage at the same time. Life started to come together while she built a career in health and human services, finished her college degree, and eventually remarried. Life was GOOD. This was until her brother passed away at the age of 42. Her life turned upside down. Devastated, she did her best to "feel the pain, but not stay there and put her big girl panties on." And right as she began to heal, she heard those words,: You Have Breast Cancer. Tune in to hear the rest of Molly's story, and listen as she shares how she "put her big girl panties on" and found the GOOD that comes out of her diagnosis.
