One of my very best friends, Cathy Williamson, is on the podcast with me today! Well & Worthy Life exists because Cathy encouraged me to step into it, and I’m so grateful she did! I’ve had her on the podcast many times before talking about reinventing ourselves, blogging, fashion, the transition into this midlife season, and all that comes with that but today she’s sharing part of her personal journey through breast cancer. One thing that really stood out to me about Cathy was her faith and positive mindset through breast cancer.
Like so many women, Cathy discovered her breast cancer through a routine mammogram (so ladies, be sure to be consistent with these!) A consistent theme I hear from friends who have gone through breast cancer is, you have to advocate for yourself. If something doesn’t sit right with you, it’s ok to push back and find the right fit. This is exactly what Cathy had to do when it came to her oncologist.
Cathy has turned her mess into her message, helping so many other women walk through their breast cancer diagnosis. Hear Cathy share her story of hope in the midst of her diagnosis and her 3 words of wisdom to anyone who may have recently been diagnosed.
There is power in the words we think and speak which is why cultivating a positive mindset through a breast cancer diagnosis, or any other diagnosis is vital.
