Shailushi Is Speaking- Mental Wellbeing After Cancer
What happens when there is not a biochemical imbalance in our brains? No low dopamine or suboptimal serotonin to explain our mental health challenges? Yet, life keeps happening to us and the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” rain down upon us and we must march forward? What happens when those slings and arrows shake our world views and affect our mental well-being?
Today we have someone special in the Speaker’s Chair. You know her and love her…Shailushi Baxi Ritchie! Your beloved hosts realized that mental health & neurodiversity affects everyone, and wanted to make sure our listeners know us a little better, what we’ve been through and continue to go through that often direct how we navigate the world and Shailushi is first up!
In 2017, Shailushi was diagnosed with cancer. Loyal listeners know this, she isn’t shy about speaking about her cancer diagnosis, and we’ve had her oncologist on last April for Shailushi’s month of birthday surprise guests. But we haven’t heard her story as she tells it - until now. Shailushi starts from the beginning and takes our listeners through her emotional journey - the high highs and the low lows. In the end, you hear the resolve and resilience that makes your main host here pretty damn badass.
