172. She Did Everything Right: Nora's Diagnosis
In this week’s episode of the We Didn’t Plan For This series, Nora and Adrienne explore how sometimes life doesn’t slowly change — sometimes it changes in an instant.
Nora has done everything right. She took care of her health, exercised, ate well, and paid attention to her body — and she still got breast cancer.
She shares the reality of diagnosis, biopsies, MRIs, and preparing for a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, along with the uncomfortable and often humiliating parts of female healthcare, and how breath work became the one thing she could control when everything else felt uncertain.
From her time in the Air Force and deployment during Iraqi Freedom to the impact of burn pits, Nora reflects on how strength changes over time and what resilience actually means. She shares how breath, mindset, and her community are helping her get through one of the hardest seasons of her life.
This episode is about awareness, about using hard things as fuel to help others, and about learning to control the things you can control — especially your breath.
If you’re listening to this in your car, take a moment before you get out, pause, and take one breath.
