073. Breast Cancer Recovery: One Week Post-Op

Have you ever had a health crisis suddenly disrupt your riding, your career, your whole... life?   "A month ago, my two biggest things were going to be taking Romeo to the developing Prix St George Championships and teaching Denali flying changes, but then cancer came knocking at my door, and it's a door you have to answer, even when you don't want to."     One week post double masectomy and reconstructive surgery, JJ candidly shares her experience being diagnosed with breast cancer and her recovery. She urges everyone to know their body, and be careful of the "NQRs" -- the Not Quite Rights.    True to JJ's irrepressible teacher's spirit, her focus moves on from her recovery to dressage, encouraging her riders showing at Lamplight, and sharing her most important advice for riders competing young horses, especially at a large venue.    --------  This episode was originally featured on August 25, 2021 in JJ’s online community, Team Tate TV a private Facebook group of inspired & supportive dressage lovers just like you.
