Breast Cancer Heroes Journey

Why I Lost My Mind At The Grocery Store Checkout (And What It Taught Me About Surviving Cancer)

Episode Summary

Yesterday, something happened that made me want to scream... I'm standing in line at the grocery store, exhausted from chemo, barely able to keep my eyes open, when the cashier starts pushing their credit card promotion on me. "You could save 10% today if you just fill out this application..." And I snapped. Not at her - she was just doing her job. But at the universe. At the cruel reality that even when you're fighting for your life, the world doesn't pause to let you catch your breath. The bills still come. People still want things from you. Your phone still rings with problems that need solving. Life keeps demanding your attention when all you want to do is crawl into bed and hide. In this episode, I'm sharing the moment that triggered this realization and why it's actually one of the most important lessons cancer taught me. Because here's what nobody tells you: The world's indifference to your crisis isn't personal. It's not cruel. It's just... life. And learning not to take it personally might be the difference between surviving this journey and thriving through it. I'm talking about the specific strategies that helped me navigate the relentless demands of daily life while my body was falling apart. How to protect your energy when everyone else needs a piece of you. And why sometimes the most radical thing you can do is absolutely nothing. Because the world won't stop for your cancer. But you can learn to stop taking that personally.
