A diagnosis of breast cancer is scary, eye-opening, frustrating, and challenging, and if we allow it to be, it's a powerful teacher. This month as I approach the 12-year anniversary since my first diagnosis of breast cancer, I reflect on all the lessons I've learned along the way…so far. It's true that time can lessen the intensity of the fear and trauma of a diagnosis and treatment, but one thing I've learned for myself and witnessed in others is that real transformation comes from having the willingness to do the work of being open to change. But in order to stay in that space, the ability to trust yourself is essential. When a diagnosis seems to sever the relationship between you and your body, and being in the medical system leaves you feeling at the mercy of other people's decisions, learning to trust in yourself can be harder than ever. In this episode, I'll share my own struggle to trust my intuition, and I'll share some insights that will hopefully lead you back to believing in yourself as the expert on you.
