On this episode Donna, my best friend's mom and my second mom, talks to us about her journey to beat breast cancer. She shares about the week she was diagnosed, the support she had from her family, the lessons she learned and why she never asked "why me?" 
We chat about her journey to motherhood, her gratitude for life, her honey business and of course her garden!

In this episode I share the details of my history with anxiety and the breakdown I had in 2018. I thought anxiety was going to take everything that mattered away from me: family, school, work, etc. It was a really dark time. I also share how I was able to overcome and manage this anxiety through methods learned in therapy and what my life looks like now that I know how to manage it.
