Full Show notes: https://bit.ly/WellShitEpisodeGuide

Today is a slightly different episode, as we are sharing a personal journey from the last few weeks that has been a little challenging to navigate and overcome....

#TriggerWarning - Cancer/Chemo

In this episode we cover:

- What happened when the "Well Shit" hit the fan...again.

- How Serena has coped with what has been going on

- How did Serena get here?

- What Serena's treatment involved

- How Serena met her Personal Power Need in a situation where many would feel powerless

- Serena's process around the decision to tell people, or not

- How other people might have made the situation more difficult without meaning to

- How Serena might have felt pressurized to put other peoples' needs ahead of hers while going through something difficult

- How other peoples' reactions helped along the way in unexpected ways

- How Serena would have dealt with a situation like this before doing The Universal Needs work vs after

- How being proud of pain tolerance was actually compromising Serena's needs

- How previously Serena would have used a 'recovery period' to 'catch up' at her cost

- How someone not meeting their own needs can cause them to not respect someone else needing to prioritize theirs

- How to deal with it if you make an insensitive remark regarding a triggered topic

- What to do if you are supporting someone through a diagnosis and have your own triggers activated...like Claire did

- What do you do if the person you USUALLY process stuff with you feel you CAN'T process with because it is about them and what they are going through

- What you can do when your capacity is low but you still want to reach out to people

- How your Acknowledgement Need can be your best ally when going through a situation like this

- Why you're neither a glass ball or a plastic ball...and how not all balls are created equal!

...and yes, due to a technical issue we're the wrong way around on the screen today...we'll be back to our rightful sides of the screen soon! :)
