Leigh shares with me her experience of going through a double diagnosis of cancer in the last few years and as she says “white knuckled” her way through them. She went on with life avoiding facing the emotions that come with a diagnosis as such. She is now in the process of working through those emotions and as part of her work she challenged herself to speak about it on the podcast with me.
