My Story: Melanoma Diagnosis, Surgery, Recovery and Self-Advocacy | Ep 171

Season 1 Episode 171 Published 1 year, 7 months ago
Description

In this episode, I share my journey of being diagnosed with melanoma, the fear that crept in after hearing the surgeon's treatment plan, and how I chose to use my tools to set aside the fear, step into positive action, and release all doubt about my ability to walk my own path. I share this story because I want others to know that you can be an advocate for doing things your way when it comes to your health. Seek second opinions, bring in other healers and resources, and stand in your own power. 💪

I hope my story inspires you to take charge of your health journey, motivates you to set up your own network of healers to call on in your time of need, and educates you on the many options available in your healing journey. You don’t have to say yes to the first option offered. 🌟
