Louise McMilan: Finding Strength Through Adversity

I just really wanted them to see cancer in a not scary way, because I remember when my Nan had cancer, she was like why me?
What happens when life throws you not one, but two major health challenges at once? In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Louise McMilan, who faced both breast cancer and appendicitis simultaneously. Louise opens up about how these trials became the catalyst for her to start living the life she truly wanted.
Before her diagnoses, Louise struggled with limiting self-beliefs and bouts of depression that affected her career in HR, as well as her personal relationships. She shares how these health crises forced her to re-evaluate her life and ultimately led her to a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. With heartfelt honesty, Louise discusses the importance of support systems and how she found strength in unexpected places.
She also offers three practical tips for anyone facing similar struggles: prioritize what nourishes you, listen to your body, and remember that it's not selfish to do what's right for you. This episode is a raw and relatable conversation that highlights the transformative power of facing adversity head-on.
