This week I’m doing a (Rewind) solo episode sharing The Path’s Survival Guide to Embracing The Detours of Life.  

One of the most frustrating things in the world to me besides bad traffic is having to detour because of it. No one likes to change direction or take a longer route, but we are often forced to do so at some point especially if you’re driving in Georgia. Life is no different. Detours are most times not expectant and can be overwhelming.

What do you do when life requires you to detour from your normal comfortable life?  Do you freeze in time? Do you sit in a state of shock or do you fight to move out of your comfort zone, reroute and change directions? There’s a quote that reads,

“Often what may appear as a detour in life is actually the most direct and empowering path to your destination”  - James Arthur Ray

In this Solo episode I share:

• 4 Survival Guide Tips to Embracing The Detours of Life

“I had to get out of survival mode and I have to live - You can do both at the same time” - CeeCee McGriff

Survive and Live Life is a non-profit founded by CeeCee McGriff. Survive and Live Life was created to encourage other survivors to BOLDLY share their stories of how they made it through treatments, surgeries and all the after effects of fighting cancer. CeeCee is a 2x Breast Cancer SURVIVOR and after the last diagnosis made a decision to have a double double mastectomy with restructure reconstruction.

Today, CeeCee and I spoke about her path through such a trying time, how she learned to start living life to it’s fullest and how everyone should always get a 2nd opinion if you feel led to do so.  We also spoke about what family and friends Should or Should NOT say to someone going through something as serious as cancer.

Psalm 147:3  He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds. Austin Tyler Foundation,Inc (Foundation Scripture)

Through it all, Ladonna was determined and purposed to start a non profit in her angels name Austin Tyler.

Come sit, learn the signs and walk this journey with Ladonna and I.  Learn how this mother, took what is one of the most unthinkable tragedies and is now on a mission to bring awareness of domestic abuse to women and their children as well as the community by embracing, educating and empowering.

Quote: “Every problem introduces a person to himself” - John McDonnell

A painful experience can abruptly stop anyone in their tracks.  No one plans for painful experiences and no one is exempt from them.  It’s during the most difficult times in our lives that we discover a different version of ourselves.  Although our stories can be different, the fight to come through it all unscathed is the goal for everyone.  

In today’s solo episode we walk through The Path’s Survival Guide to moving through and from pain to pivoting when necessary.  We don't forget the pain, but we must acknowledge the it and seek healing from it so you don’t become paralyze in the pain.  It is a process and the time it takes for you to heal will not be the same as another persons healing, but know that you will heal if you are willing to pursue it…just like the BOLD women on The Path Podcast.
