Episode highlights:
07:56 - The difference between surviving and thriving is that you make a choice to not let that define who you are.
13:11 – Your scars are different then my scars. But it’s the same healing process.
15:43 – We set all our own limitations in our mind, and it starts at a young age. I’m old enough to remember that I was often the only person of color in my classroom, and feeling like: Am I good enough. So, I had to push myself that much harder. To prove – to myself and to other people. And yes, I’m good enough! And I belong here.
23:38 – You took deep dark secrets and you brought them into the light. And you’re not ashamed of it. It happened to you; it wasn’t your fault. And so, with this cancer journey, it’s the same thing. You have to choose who you’re going to be in it.
26:30 – I’ve visited that deep dark place for a while, and there was my faith that helped me get out of it. And the people around me. – Try not to live in that dark space too long. Find something that’s going to help you get out of it.
45:32 – Staying active is going to help you feel better.
