My Daughter's Story of Struggle and Strength: One Year After Diagnosis
Manage episode 407086945 series 3557656
This episode has been one I've wanted to do for some time - it's an enormous part of why I've changed the brand of the podcast to encompass the broader human experience. My daughter, Jocelyn, is my very special guest today. She talks about her leukemia diagnosis over a year ago, and the battle that would take up all of 2023, and change the way she has to look at her health for the rest of her life.
Hearing this story from her provides so much joy for who she is as a woman, how she's grown, and my hope is that you'll hear the same message.
She shares some of the early indicators that were thought to be a bad case of the flu, the mysterious bruises she got, and when she checked in to Phoenix Children's Hospital. She talks about shaving her head, the incredible people that stepped up for her when she was down, and the quirky things that people say and do - when they don't know what to say or do!
The lesson and ongoing message in this podcast for all of us is, I believe, that through struggle and adversity comes strength. I'm so proud of my daughter - and the lessons I believe are important for anyone struggling.
I hope that you find this episode to be uplifting and motivating for your own human experience.
Thank you so much for listening!
