    Thriving After Breast Cancer: Alex’s Journey

    In this episode I speak with the super inspiring Alex, whose journey of healing and transformation after an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Initially living a hectic, high-stress life and managing undiagnosed ADHD, Alex never expected a routine breast check to reveal cancer. But that shocking diagnosis became the catalyst for a complete transformation - mentally, physically, and energetically. We discuss: The potential link between inflammation, ADHD, and how repressing symptoms can manifest in the bodyHow Alex’s hectic lifestyle and pushing down her ADHD symptoms may have contributed to her diagnosisThe profound changes Alex made to her mental, physical, and spiritual health after her diagnosisHer journey to becoming a Reiki practitioner and how she now helps others on their healing paths This conversation is packed with insights about the mind-body connection, the power of holistic healing, and the importance of taking charge of your health. Alex’s story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the profound impact of healing on every level - mind, body, and spirit. Now, Aelx’s mission is to change the way people view symptoms and healing, guiding them toward a more holistic approach to well-being. Through her podcast and retreats, Alex empowers others to take charge of their health, break free from toxic patterns and embrace a life of vitality. She shares many of the alternative and holistic practices that transformed her own life, helping others reconnect with their bodies, minds, and true potential.
