It is easy to coach on Compare and Despair when helping clients to propel them into living their best lives, but when it trickles up with a chronic health condition or something like metastatic breast cancer, we too can fall into the trap of comparing our health journey to another.  Our minds and stories don't change overnight, even with MBC.  In this episode I get vulnerable and admit, even with working my own stuff, this still comes to the surface. My favorite part of the episode is when I say that in our comparisons, notice our differences and talk about it.  That is what life is all about, right?Give it a listen and share with me. If you have not yet signed up to receive emails for this podcast you may be missing out on bonus material.  Sign up here!Join the conversation by emailing me personally at jaimee@rockstarnavigator.com or hop onto our Facebook page to tell us what you think.As always, please rate, share and review this episode.Psst!  Have you heard about The Labyrinth Circle?  I am listening to you.  And now, I have created the space to hold and nurture you.Join Now.  Don't miss out on Founding Member gifts for a select few.To learn more about Jaimee: click here.Email Jaimee: jaimee@rockstarnavigator.com Keep me in the loop.

This is Part 1 in a 3-part series where I use a story about helping salamanders cross the road and how it relates to disrupting choice and a path when it comes to support and caregivers while on a metastatic breast cancer journey.I wondered if by being the helper of others all of the time, picking them up and carrying them along is helpful or disrupts their own path and process of choosing.  The first step in choosing a path is to first go inward to figure out which option you want and then create a network that supports you in that choice.I will discuss what this looks like more in the next part of this series.keywords: support, caregiver, metastatic breast cancerSign up for email here to receive special bonuses.Follow the show on Facebook.Send me an email and share your thoughts: jaimee@rockstarnavigator.comWant to share your story?  Fill out this form.Psst!  Have you heard about The Labyrinth Circle?  I am listening to you.  And now, I have created the space to hold and nurture you.Join Now.  Don't miss out on Founding Member gifts for a select few.To learn more about Jaimee: click here.Email Jaimee: jaimee@rockstarnavigator.com Keep me in the loop.
