"Let me start by telling you how my healing began…
Fifteen years ago I joined a local mommy group after having my first daughter. I met some pretty incredible people through it and have kept in touch with many of them to this day.
When I first shared with friends and family that I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, I received an incredible amount of love and support. One of my "mommy group" friends that I had kept in touch with sent me a private message with some invaluable information. When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019 I was so angry. I didn't want to hear anyone's advice, I didn't want to be told I was brave, I just wanted it gone and to move on with my life. After being told I was Stage 4 in 2023 my response was totally different. I was in desperation mode, survival mode. I had to know anything and everything that I could do to make it through this. So I happily read the message from my friend. She told me about her cousin Liz Curran who co-owned a company called and that she was a Radical Remission Health Coach. After connecting with Liz I signed up for their Radical Remission Workshop and got a copy of Dr. Kelly A. Turner's book, "Radical Hope". This was the turning point I needed.
After being in a dark place I found myself crawling out from under the stage 4 cancer rock. I read and listened to incredible stories of people dealing with incurable and terminal illnesses who were years out from their diagnosis and in remission. All of their stories had this commonality. They all began making changes in their lives that, knowingly or not, incorporated the 10 healing factors described in this book.
Participating in the workshop led by Karla Mans Giroux, helped me work through the 10 healing factors in relation to my own diagnosis and helped set the stage for how I was going to move forward with my own life. The workshop was life changing and set me on a trajectory of empowerment, hope and gratitude.
I regularly listen to the Radical Remission Podcast and feel empowered by their, "Stories that Heal." They also bring on various medical professionals who are always a wealth of knowledge and provide amazing resources."
