In this conversation with Charlotte Squires she share her personal story with receiving a stage four cancer diagnosis at the age of 23. Charlotte talks about what life was like immediately before she found out she had cancer, what the healing and recovery process looked like, how willing she was to go into the depths and breadth of the human experience, to feel the anger and the grief, and the sadness and the loss, and how that ultimately opened her up to more joy and light and love.
You’ll hear us discuss:
- The advocating and health bias Charlotte experience in getting diagnosed
- How Charlotte felt about her diagnosis and what it was like to share with others
- How Charlotte's thinking shifted to accepting and her spirituality grew
- Charlotte's holistic approach to healing that she called in
- How the year after treatment was the hardest year of Charlotte's life

" I never thought I could die. I didn't feel that was true for me. the further I moved into the feeling, I realised I had to feel the fear of death. The further into the healing that I went the more okay I became with death because I realised if what was to happen, then I'd reached a point of acceptance. I felt this affinity with my light of what was inside of me."
