When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2019, I was holding my 8 month old baby when I got the call.
I still remember the exact moment. The words āIām sorry, itās cancerā landed and my world went dark for a second. My mind immediately went to the possibility of not being here to watch my baby grow up, and that fear is something I will never forget.
But even in the middle of that moment, something in me decided that wasnāt going to be my story.
I committed deeply to healing in every way I could. Not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too.
The years that followed were not easy. There were countless appointments, surgeries, and long stretches of uncertainty. There were seasons of grief, loss, and moments where the work felt really heavy. There were also so many layers of healing that most people never see, including multiple dental surgeries and years of rebuilding my health from the inside out.
And through all of it, the vision that kept me going was the life I wanted to be here for. Being present with my boys. Continuing to grow our family. Watching them experience the world. Living a full, healthy life alongside them.
Looking back now, as strange as it may sound, cancer changed me in ways I never expected. It forced me to slow down, to go inward, and to really learn how to listen to my body and trust myself. It brought me into a deeper relationship with my health, my purpose, and the life I want to live. It healed me.
Today Iām living a life that once felt so far away in those early days. A life that is full, healthy, and deeply meaningful.
And if thereās one thing Iāve learned through all of it, itās that healing isnāt just about surviving something hard. Itās about allowing the experience to transform you and choosing, again and again, to keep moving toward the life you know is possible.
