Facing Fear

Today was supposed to be my last chemotherapy. But it's not. So I'm dropping this spontaneous episode to let out all the feelings I have about it, but of course, I have plenty.

Thanks to an allergic reaction to chemo (taxol, specifically) that plan got widely sidetracked and I still have two more months to go. While I'm sad I'm not done today as originally planned, I'm also weirdly thankful I'm still going through chemo because honestly, I am scared for life after active cancer treatment.

In my mission of facing fear and bringing you right along with me, I share some amazing insight I gained this week through the book I'm reading called, "Everyday Strength: A Cancer Patients Guide to Spiritual Survival."

Yup. I turned 30-years-old and I realized I didn't have a skincare or make up routine. And then I learned I would have to have chemo, lose my hair, get chemo acne and possibly my eyelashes and eyebrows!? I needed HELP, and help stat.

Sara and I talk again about how she got into her love of make up and how she curated a custom, chemo friendly and safe list of products for me to shop around for to help me maintain my confidence even though I lost my hair.

Coming soon... Sara and I are putting together a YouTube of a simple step-by-step skincare and make up routine based on what I bought from Sara's amazing recommendations. Look for it on YouTube under my personal account, Sara McInerney Hauck.

My guest today and I go wayyyyyyy back. We're talking childhood buddies, way back! We lost touch for years and recently reconnected when I asked Sara to help me regain confidence through accepting my new boobs post mastectomy and helping me create a skincare and makeup routine once I realized I was going bald.

Well, well, well, look who is back at it again. I know gang… it’s been another minute since you’ve heard from me. It turns out living and battling cancer is a lot harder than it looks. And to be honest, a lot harder than I’ve made it look. So here's the truth about how I've been feeling over the past two months.

Thanks for sticking in there with me. This fight is tougher than expected, but your loyalty and love are still pushing me through.

I've known Kat for more than 10 years, but we lost touch many years ago. We started as frenemies on rival high school soccer teams and then ended up playing for the same travel team and became great friends. 

We lost touch many years ago, and then she came back into my life when I needed her. Kat is an Integrative Wellness Therapist who works with individuals on self development to achieve their highest potential. Kat specifically focuses on increasing each individuals capacity for intimacy and connection with a goal of strengthening the foundation of a family dynamic.

We talk about how she faced fear through leaving a profession she didn't believe in, becoming her own boss, what integrative wellness is in the first place, and we even do a visualization practice that listeners can join us in.
