I started this blogpost when my Daughter Dana started sharing her story on her first blogpost. We were together in Arizona while Dana was undergoing an integrative cancer treatment program. I titled it Healing From Within, not because I knew it was possible, but because I so wanted to believe it. As a Registered Nurse, I wasn’t taught nutrition, nor really any of the tools to build health that I offer today. Drugs, surgery and radiation were the only tools in the conventional backpack. It took a lot of courage to question her doctor and to step outside of conventional medicine. It takes courage to be your own healthcare advocate.

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is facing the fear and taking action in spite of the fear.

Please take a few minutes to listen to my daughters courageous story. I am so very proud of her courage, compassion and commitment to connect with others.

What is your story? Will you choose the courage and compassion to share it?
