169. Brenda Crawford: Part II – Cancer & Holding the Tension of Opposites

• The shift in identity that Brenda experienced after her diagnosis, and how she began to embrace balance in a brand new way.
• Brenda’s realization that wasn’t good at self-care (even though she believed she was), and how her diagnosis snapped her into radical self-care.
• Her desire to feel all of life and no longer be desensitized to it.
• The impact of this diagnosis on her marriage, her kids, and the complication of cancer treatment during covid (she spent 18 months in her house).
• Her view that when people say “life never gives you more than you can handle”, her response is bullsh#@.  She believes life constantly gives you more than you can handle and our job is to surrender to what we cannot control and ask for help.
• The legacy Brenda wants to leave.
