Wrapping up season 2 I am joined by the incredible Kirsty. At age 24 she was diagnosed with a rare form of Appendix Cancer, after going through a series of scans and then undergoing surgery, Kirsty's team thought it was best to test for whatever it could have been, which called for a biopsy.
Shortly after Kirst was diagnosed with Cancer within the appendix, although at that point her appendix had already ruptured and the contence was spreading.
We talk all about having cancer and not having the typical 'treatment' route as well as the mental challenges that came along with it.
This is an incredible conversation.
Enjoy and see you in season 3!

In this episode Renae shares an episode she recorded with Storm from She Awakened the podcast.
Words from Storm- Wowww, this episode is something else entirely ✨ I am so grateful and honored to bring you this heart to heart chat with a beautiful soul sister, Renae Monique. Renae has been on one hell of a journey battling cancer these last 12 months, but like the warrior she is, she’s overcome it and been through an incredible inner transformation along the way. This conversation is inspiring, eye opening and full of reminders that I think we all need to hear at times about how precious life is and how everything truly does happen FOR us. We chat about:
Renaes journey being diagnosed with cancer, deciding this wasn’t how her story goes and the incredible process of healing both holistically and through chemo.
How Renae intentionally manifested being cancer free and the power of embodied manifesting.
Self love and accepting your image, Renaes journey with her hair falling out and redefining beauty/what it means to be feminine.
How damaging it can be to always have to be ‘strong’.
Life lessons that cancer brought Renae.
The ways that spirituality and self love can transform you from the inside out.
Tune in for an inspiring, empowering conversation!
