🎙️ Awakening Wisdom – Episode 2

Standing at the Threshold – Part 1: When Cancer Became My Teacher

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the threshold I’ve been standing in since April 2024—navigating a breast cancer diagnosis, undergoing a 17-day prolonged water fast, healing from surgery, and learning to radically slow down, listen in, and trust myself above all else.

This is not just a story about illness. It’s a story about waking up to what matters. About choosing a different pace. About learning to be a human being, not just a human doing.

I share:

* How I was diagnosed and why it came as such a shock

* Why I chose to do a water fast and what it taught me

* My experience with energetic healing and ancestral connection

* The grief of a five-year relationship ending

* And the messy, sacred work of standing in between what was and what’s next

This episode is part one of Standing at the Threshold, a mini-series exploring liminal space—the not-quite-then, not-yet-there. If you're in a season of transition, illness, grief, or reorientation, this one's for you.
