Thanks, Cancer!

Getting to know your 2.0 post-cancer


Listen Later

***We are a new tribe of survivors (carcinopaths!) that have the luxury of a 2.0 after cancer.

***The big c: cancer, chaos and change.

***You are a physically new self AND a psychologically new self.

***The hard restart is an opportunity… and difficult and confusing and weird and surreal.

***You need a 2.0 because your 1.0 was stripped bare. You couldn’t exist as your 1.0, and the "before" can feel like a different lifetime.

***After rebirth, you get to create yourself with everything you know as a grown up.

***Be open to different ways of rebuilding yourself.

***You are going to fail inevitably as a part of the process. Fail fearlessly. Fail again.

***Explore your 2.0 like you are in high school: fashion, ideas, taste, choices, identity.

***Incorporate water into your life. Drink the water. Be more like water. Swim in the water.

***You are a teenager. Let yourself be a teenager and understand that other people won’t give you the understanding that they would give a teenager. Cuz you look like a grown ass person.

***Let yourself be surprised, and maybe carried away a little bit by your 2.0.
