Anxiety doesn’t always make sense. Sometimes life looks “fine” on paper, but your body feels like it’s bracing for impact. I recorded this one even though I wanted to avoid it, because saying it out loud makes it real: anxiety has been loud in my life, and chemo has changed how I carry everything.
I share what it’s been like being 17 weeks into cancer treatment, holding faith and fear at the same time, and living with the reality that recurrence is still a possibility. We talk about the grief of not feeling like myself, the pressure of deadlines and money stress, and the exhaustion that comes from being “the strong one” for years. That version of me got me here, but she’s tired, and I’m learning that strength also looks like stopping and saying, “I’m not okay.”
We also get practical and honest about mental health support. I walk through the stigma, the second-guessing, and why I chose to seek professional help even though I do spiritual healing work like limpias, prayer, and working with guides. I share what it felt like to open up to my family, how different people respond, and how to ask for what you actually need: not advice, not fixing, just presence. If anxiety has been showing up in your life, I leave you with questions to reflect on and an invitation to get supported in community.
