In this deeply moving episode of the Sacred Illness™ Podcast, I sit down with Robyn Watt, a former social worker from Ontario, Canada, who courageously shares her profound journey through a cancer diagnosis and recovery.
Robyn's story begins with the shocking news of her aggressive, diffuse B-cell, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis and follows her through the physical and emotional trials of chemotherapy.
With deep reflections on the symbolism of her illness and a moving ceremony to release her hair, Robyn illustrates how this life-altering experience became an invitation to truly align with herself.
Join us as Robyn recounts her path from overwhelming stress and burnout to a renewed focus on self-care, nature, and inner peace. Her insights and resilience offer a powerful message of healing and transformation for anyone navigating their own health challenges. Enjoy!
