A Very Special Purpose

Purpose in Hard Circumstances…

Have you ever thought:

“Cancer is so overwhelming.”
“I feel lost.”
“I don’t know who I am anymore.”
“I feel broken.”
“Is cancer my only future?”

These thoughts are more common than you think. While this may sound cliché, I truly believe we are all here for a unique and meaningful purpose. For some, a cancer diagnosis becomes part of discovering that purpose. For others, the purpose may simply be surviving, healing, loving, or learning to live again. There is no single path — and there is no timeline you must follow.

Sometimes purpose is connected to something you were once passionate about but never pursued because fear held you back. Sometimes it is born directly from the diagnosis itself — from the journey you never asked for. And sometimes, it unfolds quietly over time.

My Example

I was a life coach before my diagnosis. But walking through Triple Negative Breast Cancer changed everything. The diagnosis clarified my direction. The treatment stripped me down — physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. It challenged my identity. It confronted my vanity. It forced me to let go of false narratives about who I thought I needed to be.

And from that breaking came rebuilding. Not because cancer was a gift. But because I chose not to let it define the end of my story. Today, I am blessed to do work I feel deeply called to — walking beside others as they rediscover themselves beyond diagnosis. And that purpose? It feels aligned, authentic, and earned through experience.

If you are feeling lost, if you feel broken, if you’re wondering who you are now…

There may still be purpose waiting to be uncovered. Not pressure, not expectation, just possibility.

If you would like support exploring what your life could look like beyond this chapter, I invite you to schedule a complimentary discovery call.

You are not done, your story is not over and cancer does not get the final word.

Sending love,
