The A-word that broke me

Send us Fan MailWaiting for a mastectomy is its own kind of heavy. I'd been through surgeries before and thought I had some idea of what to expect. I didn't. This episode covers the months leading up to the surgery, from a new surgeon who used a word that stopped me in my tracks, to the moments where I finally stopped holding it together.There's a lot in this one about the people who showed up. A friend who sat with me in her garden while I fell apart and who didn't try to fix it. Tim cooking through the weekends to keep things moving. Ruby being clingy in the way kids are when they know something is wrong. And a ritual I created for myself before the surgery that was messy and raw and completely necessary.I also talk about the PET scan waiting rooms, the worst-case thinking, the sleepless nights, and what I kept coming back to in the yoga texts when logic stopped working. By the night before surgery I hadn't slept and I was worn through. But something became clear in that exhaustion. This episode is about everything that happened before I found out what that was.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/
