00:00I've just finished clinic for the day and I wanted to share something with you.
00:04I'm going to take you back to the moment I was told I had cancer because I think that there's
00:08something in that moment that could be helpful to us all and it's something that I really wish
00:13I had known before that day. Something that maybe we can practice now so that we don't have to wait
00:20for something awful to teach it to us. So the day that I was told was hands down the worst
00:28day of
00:28my life, like truly rock bottom, felt like being hit by a bus and I still fully can't describe it.
00:35But in that second, every ounce of control I ever thought I had, it just disappeared. All the plans
00:44ahead, the job titles, the roles I carried, the things that I thought mattered so much, suddenly
00:50everything felt completely irrelevant. It genuinely felt like my heart had stopped
00:58And in a moment like that, when everything feels frozen, the only thing that you're actually
01:03left in control of, it's your next breath. That's it. Just the next breath.
