For the past 20 years cancer has woven itself onto my life path. As a caregiver to my husband and sister and then with my own diagnosis I know all too well the journey – the pain, fear and the feeling of being lost and alone. Not willing to let cancer take any more from me than it had to, I embraced 12 pillars of mindfulness and positive psychology during my year of treatment and will be sharing a few of them in our session.

Since completing my own healing journey, I’ve wholeheartedly dedicated myself to aiding others facing adversity. My experience has taught me that a positive mindset directly impacts the healing process. Join in the session to take the first step to a more intentional mindset and path to your healing.

The 12 mindset tools that changed my cancer experience are at your fingertips. I’ve launched a complimentary program titled “The Heron’s Perspective.” This platform offers insights from positive psychology, mindfulness and mindset strategies, presented in bite-sized, actionable formats. My aim is to empower individuals to confront life’s challenges with resilience and hope, navigating their journeys with strength and grace. To subscribe to the microlearning program click here.
