Cancer Truth Note: #232

by | Jul 22, 2023 | Cancer Truth Note

There are gifts in EVERY challenge, including cancer.

There is a positive intelligence strategy that I use where I look for the gifts in the challenges. Whatever the challenge may be. When I started my podcast, Unspoken Cancer Truths, I only had one rule to be a guest. You had to be far enough into the journey to have a silver lining to share. I interviewed care givers, survivors, non-profit leaders specializing in cancer services, from all types of cancer, the only requirement other than connection to cancer was a positive piece of advice or view that something about the journey served them in a positive way.

Have you found your silver lining?
