Confidently Me – The Awaken Chapter

Have you ever kept going with a plan simply because it was the plan?In this episode of Confidently Me – The Awaken Chapter, I’m talking about something I’ve been learning in a very real way, you’re allowed to change your mind.After cancer, and through the changes that come with rebuilding your life, the things that once felt right can start to feel different. That might be your work, your priorities, the way you look after yourself or even your idea of success. And changing direction can bring up guilt, doubt and a whole lot of “what will people think?”I’m sharing a few reflections on listening to yourself, letting go of expectations and finding the courage to choose what fits the woman you are today. No perfect answers, just an honest conversation about giving yourself permission to grow.If this resonates, I’d love you to listen in.

The Part No One Warns You About: Life After TreatmentYou finish cancer treatment. Everyone celebrates. You're told it's time to get back to normal.But what happens when you don't feel normal?In this episode of Confidently Me – The Awaken Chapter, I'm opening up a conversation about the part of cancer recovery that doesn't always get talked about.The physical changes, the emotional ups and downs, the expectations we place on ourselves and the sometimes uncomfortable experience of figuring out who we are after treatment.We'll explore why recovery isn't simply about getting back to the person you were before cancer, but learning to reconnect with yourself and discover what feels right for you now.Whether you are newly in remission or further along in your recovery, I hope this conversation reminds you that you don't have to have everything figured out.Connect with me:Website: juliedavidson.com.auhttps://www.instagram.com/julie_davidson__/Discover AWAKEN, my membership for women rebuilding their lives after cancer treatment.

Before we dive into today’s episode, I want to make it clear that I am not a doctor or medical professional. What I’m sharing is based on my personal experience with HRT, and it’s not intended as medical advice. Every woman’s journey is unique, and what worked for me may not be right for you. If you're considering HRT or any other health-related decision, please consult with a qualified healthcare provider to find the best option for your needs.Today I talked about my own journey on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) and what some of the fears and concerns are as well as my own insights in how this is supporting me.I was concerned however I did my own research and spoke to my doctor and other health providers and leaders in the industry and I made my own decision that was right for me.What I did know is that I was just so sick of being tired and depressed and I had no idea how long this was going to go on for and I had to make a decision.To be able to sleep at night was huge for my sanity and also work and relationships as this was really affecting them so something had to change.If you have any questions or would like to chat about anything I shared today please reach out in my DM's on instagram and let's have a chat, we all need support ladies!www.juliedavidson.com.auhttps://www.instagram.com/julie_davidson__/https://www.facebook.com/juliedavidsoncoach/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdIBxEwgpPQKuMgWQql61qQhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-davidson-3a1b9458/

On the podcast today I felt so inspired and motivated to jump into my car and record this episode and talk about how my 2024 year was and how I am planning 2025 to be even more incredible. To help me stay focused each year I choose a word and 2024 word was 'Grow/th' and it was so true to how my year was. In 2025 my word is 'Identity' and I shared on the episode today what that meant for me and how I am going to embrace this word. If you are wanting to embrace your own word in 2025 I highly recommend that you take the time to think about your word and use this for your own focus for the year. If you are ready to change your life, take back control of your health and wellbeing then I am here to support you.

Today was an incredible episode and I loved the conversation I had with Melissa Welch who is an Authenticity Facilitator working with women to help reveal and remove the misconceptions you have about yourself to free you to be the woman that you came here to be. We discussed what it means to be your Authentic Self and ways in which you can find your own way and step into your own love and joy of being who you truly are meant to be. Mel shared her own story of the catalyst that helped her discover what it meant to become more authentic for herself and how she is on a mission to help more women do the same. I discussed the connection with perimenopause and menopause and how as midlife women we become less connected with ourselves and this is the time to now really ask for help and support, we are not meant to do things on our own. We even shared an idea of us doing a retreat together in 2025 which is super exciting as our mission is so clear and so strong to support more women who need our help in being the best version of themselves.

This week I spoke openly about how I was not feeling safe unless I was on my own or alone by myself. It was such a weird feeling and I could feel it in every cell of my body. What I soon realised that this form of being alone is making me feel safe and going outside of that would make me feel like I was living in fear. I discovered that this form of feeling only safe when I was by myself is a form on control, controlling the situations from outside events and if I don't have to deal with them I can feel more safe. What I can now see if that this 'safeness' was actually keeping me stuck in my relationships, my business, my friendships and life in general. Now that I am aware of this I can now work to shift this feeling and belief and move in a forward direction. Have you ever felt like this before? Not sure how to overcome this? Journalling was my tip today to get it all on to paper and out of your head, honestly journalling is my lifesaver when I can't figure things out. One thing I want you to understand is that once you become aware it does take some time to work towards the new belief and change your old patterns, so have compassion for yourself. This is why I am creating my new membership called The Perimenopause Wellness Hub where you can spend 1 year with me to work on your what I call 'stuff' in a much more relaxed and supported way.
