In life, it's often the smallest changes that can lead to the most profound transformations. I learned this lesson firsthand after my diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer in 2015—a moment that reshaped my entire outlook on health and wellbeing.
What once felt like ordinary, everyday choices suddenly carried new weight. I realized that if I wanted to give my body the best chance at healing, I had to start paying attention to even the tiniest details. From what I ate and drank to the products I used in my home, every decision became part of a bigger picture of intentional, mindful living.
A Moment of Truth
For decades, I cherished a signature scent: SUNG by Alfred Dunn. That perfume, a part of my identity since the 1980s, carried memories and emotions that were close to my heart. But when cancer reared its head, I realized that every element of my lifestyle needed re-evaluation. The decision to give up a beloved perfume wasn’t just about scent—it was about choosing a life of renewed health and mindful living.
Detoxifying My World
Determined to do everything possible to keep cancer from returning, I embarked on a journey to detox my life.
This meant more than just scrapping one product—it was a complete overhaul:
- Home and Personal Care: I replaced everyday items with plant-based alternatives, carefully choosing products that nurtured my body and environment.
- Saying Goodbye to Conventional Scents: I bid farewell to candles, air fresheners, and other products laden with chemicals. While it wasn’t easy to let go of long-held habits, each small change reinforced my commitment to a healthier lifestyle.
Each adjustment, no matter how minor it seemed at the time, contributed to a broader transformation. Over the years, these consistent, mindful decisions helped create an environment where I could truly heal and thrive.
