The Soul Goals, Episode 45: Mandy

As new parents, Mandy and her husband’s worlds were turned upside down when she received news of her breast cancer diagnosis.  Having a toddler to take care of as well as managing her own health made for a difficult balance.  The path Mandy followed was filled with challenges and began initially when she was told that what she had discovered wasn’t anything to worry about.  But Mandy’s intuition told her otherwise and she pressed on, determined and diligent about following through with what her gut was telling her.

Mandy was blessed to have a supporting staff of friends and loved ones in her life who stepped in to help her and her husband with their young daughter, Hannah, so that they could focus on getting treatment and getting well.  That love and assistance made it possible for her to be diligent about healing.  Notably, without that help, her path could have been much more challenging than it already was.

Thankfully, Mandy has been cancer free for a number of years and is a strong advocate for others, reminding everyone that no matter your health circumstances, each of us knows ourselves better than anyone else does and that following that inner voice is imperative.  Without her diving in, asking questions, and advocating, things would have been much different.  Mandy’s faith and formidable spirit are true gifts to everyone’s lives she touches.  

Everyone has a story, and every story matters!
