Twenty years ago, everything changed with the three words, " You have leukemia."
This episode might not be for everyone, and it's ok if you choose not to tune in - your instincts know best. We'll walk through the day leading up to and day of my diagnosis, then walk through the fear and hope that came with my leukemia diagnosis and treatment. I dive into the support that was so crucial to my survival, particularly in the form of my social worker Joan and her invaluable knowledge about how to care for the humans this diagnosis would affect (aka my whole family, not only me).
This path didn't end with the physical healing. It extended into unlearning deep beliefs, reintegration and coming home to my body, and a reclamation of my voice and my story. I'll share the techniques I learned for coming back home to my body and how I learned to recognize when I wanted to dissociate. And yes, we'll even talk about time, the relentless urge to obsess over work, and the importance of listening to the quiet (or sometimes loud) cues your body is trying to tell you, and how to recognize them.
What kept me going through it all? What tools and modalities assisted my healing process? Tune in to hear all about it. This episode is packed with emotion, lessons learned, and the grueling but ultimately worthy path of healing. 20 years after being diagnosed, these are the things I know to be true.
This is the High Alignment Podcast – and this episode is full of bit of my heart and lessons from scars.
