After a diagnosis of breast cancer, we face many challenges that test our strength and resilience including how we can and how we want to show up for others.

It's natural to feel the urge to fix things, whether it's our own circumstances or the lives of our loved ones.

However, this episode sheds light on the deeper reasons behind this impulse and offers insights into why we feel compelled to relieve other people’s suffering even when we have no power to do so and the mental burden undermines our health.

We discuss the powerful role of empathy, compassion, and the desire for control in our attempts to fix others' lives, and how these well-intentioned instincts can prevent us from fully accepting and embracing the present moment.

You'll discover how resisting what is can be a significant source of suffering and how accepting reality as it unfolds can lead to a sense of peace and freedom.

Join me as we navigate the journey of making peace with the present moment and trusting in the natural order of life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to find solace and strength amidst adversity.
