Send a textPicture this: you wake up one day and everything changes. That's exactly what happened to our guest, Christy Greenleaf, who transformed from an everyday woman to a breast cancer survivor, advocate, speaker and writer. Her raw and relatable journey, which she generously shares, forces us to reflect on the importance of advocating for our health, and understanding that our scars, be it physical or otherwise, are a testament to our strength and resilience. Christy was diagnosed at age 42 (she's 46 now) with stage 1 HER2 triple positive breast cancer with lymph node involvement and during her journey her husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. She has worked in the disability insurance industry for over 18 years and she suddenly found herself on the other side of the disability world as a claimant. Christy’s superpower is connection. Whether it is mentoring women, advocacy work, or being inspired through sharing other woman’s stories, Christy believes in the importance of prioritizing yourself before your health prioritizes you!Christy's story is not just about surviving cancer, but also about thriving in the aftermath. With societal expectations of what women should look like pressing down on her, she chose to redefine beauty on her own terms. In doing so, Christy discovered a deep-seated strength within herself, and she encourages each of us to do the same. She also underlines the importance of a supportive community, because we, as humans, are not meant to navigate life alone. The conversation with Christy doesn't stop at her journey, but extends to her advocacy work and her emphasis on self-care. She shares some practical tips for self-care, such as indulging in podcasts during daily walks and dedicating thirty sacred minutes each morning to herself. Christy's journey is a testament to the human spirit's ability to endure and overcome, and we know that her story will inspire you just as much as it inspired us!
