It's 2 AM and I'm wide awake again. Today is my yearly breast check, and my mind is doing that thing it always does. Racing through every possible scenario. Rehearsing conversations I hope I'll never have to have. You'd think after all these years, it would get easier. It doesn't. In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what nobody talks about - the mental torture that happens in the days leading up to your cancer check-ups. The anxiety that starts weeks before the appointment. The way your body tenses up every time you think about it. The bargaining you do with the universe in the middle of the night. I'll share the raw truth about what goes through my head during those sleepless nights. The fears that feel too scary to say out loud. The way I catch myself holding my breath, like somehow that will change the outcome. But here's what I've learned... feeling scared doesn't make you weak. It makes you human. I'll walk you through the exact tools I use to get through this mental gauntlet. The techniques that actually work when your brain is spiraling. The mindset shifts that help me show up to that appointment instead of canceling for the tenth time. Because the truth is, we don't get to skip this part. The check-ups aren't optional. The anxiety might be inevitable, but staying paralyzed by it isn't. I'll share how I've learned to feel the fear and do it anyway. The conversation I have with myself in the car before walking into that medical building. The way I've made peace with being scared while still being brave. This isn't about pretending you're not terrified. This is about being terrified and showing up anyway.
