In this episode of Happy Hour Podcast, my friends and I talk about juggling too many balls, as we always have been, but most especially in the face of COVID 19. We are in this extraordinary time where we are just juggling things we don’t normally juggle.
If someone tells you they have been diagnosed with cancer… do you immediately begin listing the number of things that could go wrong? Do you share stories about people you know who have died or suffered terribly from cancer?
When I was diagnosed, over eight years ago, with an autoimmune condition, I latched onto that diagnosis. It became my identity. I joined Facebook groups, signed up for 5k runs to benefit the disease, ordered books online, read article after article and absorbed everything I could about it.
