Episode 30: What are You Fighting For - Is It Your Before or Your After?
Oct 31, 2022
Do you feel an overwhelming sense of anxiety and dread at least 50% of the time because you know today will be just as miserable as yesterday? Do you feel you're already at capacity before getting out of bed? Are you yelling out to the universe, "This isn't the life I signed up for!"
If any of these apply to you... then this episode is for you!
When you are sitting in the doctor's office, and they say those words… "You have…" from that point on, everything changes - EVERYTHING. For myself and the women in my community, their lives are separated before and after diagnosis.
In this episode, I will unpack what happens to your brain and body after that diagnosis. I will talk about how we show up for the fight of our lives, what that means for our future, and how we can shift our mindset to start winning, even with a life-altering diagnosis. This episode has quite a few twists and unexpected turns, so be sure to listen!
How did we get here? Well, let me show you.
Together we unpack:
- Separating life before and after your diagnosis (2:16)
- Your identity and your diagnosis (5:28)
- Self-identifying a grumpy warrior (9:42)
- Inflammation: the fire in your body that's causing many symptoms (11:55)
- Fighting against your immune system (12:50)
- Asking yourself if this is okay (15:12)
- Making your health a full-time job (16:50)
- Showing up for the fight of your life (19:41)
That is the ethos of a Grateful Warrior. Try it on for a few days. Let me know how you start showing up differently for yourself. I am here to help you learn how to believe in yourself after your body has completely taken that away from you, and I will believe in your success every single day and at some point… you will start to believe in yourself again. Hit me up and say hello and let me know which aspect of your life you will begin with first. If anything I said resonates with you, hit me up on Insta - Let's connect more!
