If you have or had breast cancer that makes you a pretty strong warrior in my mind. Whomever said that men are the stronger sex maybe wrong. It takes love, strenght, support and inner wisdom to go through cancer treatments. I always knew I was a strong women but having had breast cancer and chemo really was the test. I never felt sorry for myself and let the cancer bring me down. I just did what I had to do at the time with courage and strenght. Your mind and body are tested big time. Holy sh*t I thought losing my hair was worst then losing both breast. I could hide the fact that I had breast surgery with reconstruction. But, when I was told I should have chemo as a added benefit there was no hiding my bald head.

That being said my baldness was and still is my badge of honor. I have 2 more weeks until my hair starts to grow back and it seems like 2 years. The other night I cried my eyes out now that treatment is all over. All I could think was “look what my body has been through and how did I get through this”. The answer is I got myself through cancer. Of course, friends and family support helps in every step of the way. But, at the end of the day I did it and it’s all over. I am my own hero and YIPPIE!

Clients ask me all the time why when you first meet someone they seem perfect. Then a couple months later the person doesn’t seem perfect at all. Is it that people tell you what you want to hear when your first start dating? We all know people that after one date are so sure the person is the one for them.

We all fall into this trap once or twice. Maybe it is because you want to be in a relationship so bad you will overlook the signs. Or tell yourself it’s better than being alone. Well, that is just not true. It is better to be alone than be with the wrong person. The only person that will lose out is you. Why cheat yourself out of true love?

The only person looking out for you is you. You are your one true best friend and the only person who has your best interest at heart. But this requires strength and trust. I’m always telling clients to honor their inner voice and allow it to guide you because it works. I’m not saying this is easy but with practice you will learn that all the answers you need are within. And when your inner voice is whispering in your ear things like “you deserve better” listen.

I’ve been there and I’m the first one to say that I used to just push aside my inner guide and do what I wanted. And for the most part if I was really in tune with myself I would have made better decisions. Through my coaching training and inner work I have learned to trust and listen to my inner voice no matter how hard it was. So start making better choices for yourself and you will find that you’re a lot stronger than you thought.
