Hello friends!

 

October always carries a little extra weight for me. It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month and also the month, ten years ago, on October 1, that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Feels so long ago, and not so long ago.

 

That moment changed everything. It taught me how strong I could be. It taught me how soft I could be. It stripped away the illusion of control, and gave me trust, clarity, and a deep appreciation for the mess and magic of being alive.

 

I write about this chapter of my life in my book- More than Millions; Finding the Gold Within (coming Spring 2026) and even now, re-reading it reminds me how this experience cracked me open in ways that still ripple through everything I do. How I love, create, and move through the world. 

 

Healing, I’ve learned, isn’t about going back to who you were. It’s about remembering who you are!

 

Ten years later, I’m cancer free. Grateful. Grounded. Still here.

If this month holds meaning for you, if you’re walking through it, or holding space for someone who is.. 

                         I see you. 

You are part of an amazing circle of strength and light that connects us all. 

 

Get the checkup. Wear the pink. Call your people. And hug, hug, hug those you hold dear.

                

love, mmc
