    Now that you have listened to my podcast… some highlights include:

    1m08s - "The changes in our lives often are followed by a grieving process. We grieve the person we used to be after deep personal changes, the home we grew up in or an experience we may never get to experience again. To which we may need a moment to say our final goodbyes."

    2m29s - "When I became aware that grieving your old self was a natural, even necessary process to learning to LIVE again, or as I would say THRIVE again, I made important steps towards accepting my new self."

    6m15s - "To be honest with you, sadness and depression became the phase of my journey which lasted the longest. The medication I was on to help my body recuperate from the bi weekly chemotherapy probably wasn’t helping at that."
