✨A few highlights from the show:
1.Moving forward is not a linear fashion. Take one step at a time and move slowly, at your own pace. Heal your way!
2. Give yourself time and space to feel what you feel. There aren't any bad feelings or thoughts.
3. Guilt is a part of the journey.

🦄About Me:
In 2011, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, out of the blue. I did not have any prior health concerns or issues. Fast forward, the dreaded cancer diagnosis opened my eyes, introduced me to my purpose, and lead me to where I am today.
As a Cancer Doula, I use my 11 years of experience with cancer to support and guide others diagnosed with cancer. Many people are not familiar with what a cancer doula is. Think of me as a personal patient advocate. Schedule a free 30-minute Meet and Greet call to learn more. https://bit.ly/OTOSDiscovery
