Permission to offend? We're about to get unfiltered and unafraid with Rachel Luna, author of Permission To Offend and Neuro Coach. Through her triple breast cancer journey, Rachel presents the statistics on the ethnic prevalence of triple breast cancer, bringing about awareness of medical accessibility and care to patients of different ethnic groups. She speaks to evolutionary influence on why it is difficult to have controversial conversations and what it means to speak your truth at the expense of possibly offending someone else. She further discusses being "thick" or "thin" skinned! Through her dynamic with her mother, she speaks about how to have difficult conversations with people, especially family, and provides an update on where she stands in her breast cancer journey today. Finally, she provides insight into the importance of journaling from a neuroscience perspective and what it means to shift into a state of excitement and gratitude.
