Embracing Second Chances

08 Jan 2024

Description

Welcome back! I’ve had a few curve balls thrown at me since my last episode and I’m glad you’re back with me.The biggest thing I’ve had to deal with was a surprise diagnosis of Stage 3 colorectal cancer, which has influenced my approach to hardship and inspired me to dive deep into literature for solace. Among the books I read during treatment was Kennedy Ryan's 'Before I Let Go', a complex tale of love, grief, reconciliation and healing that uniquely highlights the experience of a divorced couple. The story's themes of self-compassion, therapy culmination into growth and resilience resonates deeply with me, encouraging me through my own recovery. The book also makes a mark with its dual-narrative structure, realistic portrayals of flawed characters and the enticing inclusion of southern cuisine. It’s a lovely reminder that relationships are a journey, and that true love can find its way back even after devastating losses.Find it on Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/shop/CultureLitPodcastCulture Lit is a community in celebration of black women and black love, and a reminder that black women deserve joy, love, success, second chances, and all the beautiful magic the world has to offer.Connect on Socials:on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/becomingoctaviamarie/on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/xooctaviamarieAttribution Link: A Podcast Launch Bestie ProductionMentioned in this episode:If you're enjoying the show, join our community at culturelitpodcast.com.Visit my bookshop!
