Take Back Your Health

41. Healing Through Hardship: My Experience with Toxic Mold Exposure, PTSD, and a Cancer Scare (Season Finale)


Listen Later

I am excited to say that I have wrapped up season 1 of my Take Back Your Health™ podcast. For the last episode of the season, I have finally recorded my first solo cast. This is not just any solo cast. This is so personal and vulnerable for me—I literally bared it all in this episode. I definitely saved the best for last this season. I share what ups and downs I have been through over the last three years and, most importantly, a big health scare. I hold back tears (for the most part) as I describe almost being diagnosed with cancer and all of the very outside-the-box treatments I tried to finally get the all clear.

You will not want to miss this episode!

As the season comes to a close I want to thank you all for listening and let you know how very much I appreciate all of your support.

I love what I do, and if I’m being honest, so much has transpired in my personal life. I’m finding it challenging to envision a season 2. It can be tough to publish a podcast episode every week. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the effort it takes to work on my podcast, and weighing whether to keep going. So, I want to hear from you! If my podcast has helped you in any way and you would like to hear a season 2, please let me know. I’d love to hear from you!

Regardless of what the future holds, I cannot thank you enough for joining me on this journey to Take Back Your Health™.
