Hi, I’m Delaney.
As I write this, I have survived five years without cancer. In 2017, I found a tiny lump in my right breast that turned out to be three rapidly growing tumours. I wouldn’t be typing these words if I had not trusted my intuition and got the lump checked out by a doctor. I would have been dead within 18 months.
Instead, I endured a bilateral mastectomy, six months of chemotherapy and 33 rounds of radiation, and I learned how to live... Live well. Live loudly and unapologetically to ensure I did everything possible to live as long as possible.
I changed my diet. I left my toxic job (and looked for a better one). I started doing yoga and meditation. I learned to say no, especially to the people that didn’t make me feel good. I started looking at the chemicals in my food and my environment that could be potentially carcinogenic.
My family and friends started to notice the change in me. I was happier and calmer, and I looked better. They wanted to know what my secret was. The truth is that the secret to living a long and happy life is simple. The more uncomplicated I made my life, the better I felt.
I wish I didn’t have to get cancer to learn all this, so I built this site to share what I know with the people I love.
Trusting my intuition saved my life, and cancer taught me to appreciate this one beautiful, messy, chaotic life I’ve been given. I still have hard days, and my life is far from perfect but I’ve learned to be gentle with myself. I hope you will too.
Enjoy x
