I just got diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

I set out with a vision for a highly ambitious year but then April hit and I've spent the last 3 months on a rollercoaster of the biggest ups and downs of my life. I have Breast Cancer, AND I'm simultaneously living in complete magic and flow like I've never felt before. I'm now separated from my partner of 10 years, living on my own AND I've never been richer in connection with others. The last three months look like a dumpster fire AND I now I know deeply that the universe has my back. With all the self development turned spiritual work I've been diving into over the past couple years, hear about the new leg of the journey I'll be starting (and how the rest of the team is handling it).
