I’m writing this blog partly as a cathartic record for myself of everything that I have been through and more importantly from the teacher in me; the therapist that believes my reason for being on earth is to support and guide others.
Although at first a huge shock, I could not have fathomed the learnings without having ‘worn this t shirt.’ My understandings about my life and purpose shaped throughout this period and I believe that my soul objective for going through the dark forest of uncertainty and fear was twofold and necessary. It was the learnings I needed for myself and then to pass these on to others with first-hand experience.
I was a naturopathic nutritionist and holistic wellbeing coach well before my diagnosis in 2016. Now with my new knowledge and understandings my path is to coach other ladies and gentlemen who find themselves in the void of uncertainty asking, ‘what next?’
My insights have been vast, and I will aim to explain through each post how I manoeuvred each step along the way. When faced with a decision I digested every morsel of information and slowly considered my next move. I saw cancer as my ‘teacher’ to teach me numerous things. It summoned me to do the ultimate dive in the deep end into trust, patience and self-discovery. I believe that in the stillness you can hear your inner voice. Many times, when I questioned what was my reason for getting this ‘dis-ease’ and ‘for what purpose?’ I am always told to TRUST. The voice in my head tells me that I have knowledge to impart to others who stand in my shoes.
Lesson: Intuition used to be our sixth sense. Acquaint yourself with your intuition by asking questions of your soul/higher self when you are quiet or in meditation.
