Welcome!

My name is Melinda and I am a Mama, wife, Registered Nurse and cancer survivor.

Five years ago, a cancer diagnosis at 39 weeks pregnant and the subsequent treatment had me feeling like my life shattered into a million pieces. Piece by piece I have been putting myself back together and have been on a healing journey ever since. What I thought was me healing from my cancer journey, has led to me learning more about myself than I could have ever imagined.

The pieces of who we were before a life-changing event will never fit perfectly back together, but I believe those pieces can shift to make something more beautiful than we ever thought possible. I have learned SO much about who I am since diagnosis. I'm going to be sharing my inner most thoughts, what I've discovered about my mental health, what has helped, and the parts of me that still need some mending.

I'm so glad you are here, and I hope we can mend together. My hope is that this blog makes at least ONE person feel less alone. Make sure to subscribe below to stay up to date on the latest posts!
