S3-EP3: Shoulda Woulda Coulda!

As we go through cancer survivorship, we will encounter people who will say awkward or inappropriate things even if they're coming from a place of concern or just wanting to connect. And even if we want to stay patient and understanding, sometimes, it's for the best to call them out in a polite manner. Here's how I did it. Got any comments on this ep?

In today's ep, I'll pep talk you on how to get out of that depressive funk. Got any questions, reactions or suggestions? Or share how you resonate? Hit me up at www.jaymeewins.com or email me at [email protected]. :)

Bargaining... the third stage of emotion that goes with a diagnosis is all about questioning if there was something you should've, would've, or could've done to not get cancer.
