Healing is not a warm, fuzzy thing. Healing is work. Healing is realizing what you're holding onto, being willing to process that, being willing to experience those emotions, those physical sensations, and being willing to choose other thoughts to either let them go, other true thoughts or ways of thinking about yourself to create more love for yourself, more compassion for yourself, and to decide how you want to live going forward.
Healing isn’t always a walk in the park, and no one knows this better than Laura Lummer. In this episode of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', Laura dives into her second major life lesson: healing is neither easy, comfortable, nor quick. As a two-time breast cancer survivor, Laura pulls back the curtain on the often romanticized notion of recovery. Instead of cozy blankets and warm soup, she describes a process that demands vulnerability, honesty, and an unyielding commitment to oneself.
Laura's candid storytelling reveals how she learned to face healing head-on, without the armor and defenses we often rely on. She talks about the necessity of giving healing the attention it deserves and approaching it with a mindset prepared for the hard work ahead. By sharing her personal journey, Laura aims to shift your perspective on what true healing entails.
Whether you’re in the midst of your own recovery or supporting someone through theirs, this episode offers a compassionate look at the realities of healing and the importance of patience and self-compassion.
