49: Honor the Struggle—A Conversation on Resilience and Growth

Season #1

In today's episode, we reflect deeply on the significance of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I'll be sharing personal insights from my own journey with breast cancer, which began in 2017 and lasted 24 months, urging the importance of mammograms in early detection. We dive into honoring our struggles, whatever they may be, and the need for self-care in times of hardship. 

Inspired by Frederick Douglass’s powerful words, "If there is no struggle, there is no progress," we explore how to turn challenges into growth opportunities. Whether you're dealing with a health crisis or trying to master something as simple as sourdough bread, this episode is all about finding strength, progress, and compassion in the face of adversity. Grab your favorite beverage and join us as we pivot with passion.
