#59 - Betrayed by cancer: Starting body acceptance over after surgical scars with Amy Herbert

If you received a cancer diagnosis, would you say "thank you?" I
don’t think I could. This week’s "body betrayal" guest Amy
Herbert is grateful to cancer for helping her discover a whole
new appreciation for her body -- scars and all. Amy was forever
changed by her cancer experience for the better. In this
post-traumatic growth story, you’ll learn how she forged this new
relationship with her body and why we need to reject
unsustainable ideals for beauty, illness, and emotional healing.
