Queen of Suffering
from Cultivate Calm · host Monica Rottmann
Send us Fan MailI've had life-changing news more than once. The first time, I handled it quietly, privately, keeping it together for everyone around me. I became the queen of suffering. But is pushing through really the same as healing? In this episode I go back to 2014, when my father's cancer diagnosis brought me home, and a discovery of my own sent my life in a direction I hadn't planned for.By 2017, I was facing a second diagnosis. This time I did something I hadn't done before. I told people. The difference that made, and why it took me so long to get there, is a big part of what I talk about today.There's a distinction I've been sitting with for a while now between enduring and actually healing. They look similar from the outside but they're not the same thing. If you've ever mistaken pushing through for getting better, this episode is worth a listen.LINKS:Work with Monica: https://cultivatecalmyoga.com.au/energy-alchemy/ Curious about Yoga Alchemy?: https://cultivatecalmyoga.com.au/yoga-alchemy/Website:https://cultivatecalmyoga.com.au/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/cultivatecalmyogabrisbane/
