Three years have passed since I was plunged into a life-or-death initiation with my cancer diagnosis. It felt as though the ground had disappeared beneath me, and I was faced with a choice: surrender and fade away, or stand and face myself in the rawest, most terrifying way I had ever known.
Healing did not arrive in a single moment, or with the words “all clear.” It has been messy, rage, fear and endless questions. But slowly it revealed itself in unexpected places: in sitting with discomfort, facing the fear of leaving my son and family, and there I found my power and peace.
I struggled with anxiety from a young age, feeling happiness and self-love were out of reach, but through cancer I found the chance to face it all and choose life, love, strength, compassion and healing.
This year, I had a deeper understanding around healing, that it is not just about being cured but about embracing the cycle of life and death in its fullest, and realising that ultimate healing and freedom can be found in the trust and surrender to the unfolding of life.
Each year, as I grow with this journey, I feel called to share more - not only because it frees me, but because I know that when we share our truths, we heal together.
Please remember that you are loved, you are special, and you are a gift to this world. In what feels like the darkest times is where we can find our strength to make loving change in our world 🤍
