It’s never really been about breast cancer.
Yes, starting this platform was fueled by the fact that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. But breast cancer education was never the point.
The point has always been to share candidly about the hard parts of my life to show that we all have scars, we all shed tears, we all have times where we want to give up, and we all struggle with the courage it takes to show those “weaknesses.” We too often put on layers to protect ourselves from really being seen, and because of that, so many of us struggle alone. By meeting life with the humility it takes to show our true self, we open the door of empathy and understanding and relatability, realizing that we all do better when we show up authentically and work together to overcome the hard things life throws at us. My heart has also been to show that even when you go through a crappy season, that doesn’t have to be the rest of your life. You don’t have to stay in a negative space, and you always have the choice to spin the worst parts of your story for good. You have the choice to be happy, grateful, and optimistic. And only you get to decide how you will use your one precious life.
By sharing my story, my hope has always been that we would meet people and situations differently. That we would be reminded that we all have a deep story to tell and that you never really know what weight people are carrying until you peel back all the layers.
And underlying every piece of that, my heart has always been to show God and inspire us all to meet each other and each circumstance more like Jesus. With a love that empathizes with the broken pieces of our lives but with a soul that stands for hope and joy.
This is the first podcast I’ve ever done, and we talk about all these things and more
I’d love for you to give it a listen and share it with anyone you think could benefit!
