Have you ever felt like you needed to shrink back in order to appease others?\\n\\xa0\\nIn this episode, I talk with author and coach Dee Manuel Cloud about her recent book, Beauty in the Breakdown. She explains how she learned to stop shrinking back, and how she lives life to the fullest after surviving cancer twice.\\n\\xa0\\nDee shares about her struggles battling breast cancer, and how sometimes physical illness can be caused by years of stress - in her case, by living life to please others instead of herself. We chat about how to find the beauty in the midst of life\\u2019s trials, how to have a more genuine relationship with God and others, and what it\\u2019s like to face and overcome fears.\\n\\xa0\\nOne of the fears that Dee has faced in her life has been coming out with regards to her sexuality. She talks about what it felt like to lose friends, grieve having to file for for divorce, and yet be moving into better alignment with her dreams and desires at the same time. \\n\\nAnother fear that Dee has faced was writing a book! We hear how mentorship and encouragement from those around her helped her navigate the process and bravely face the feeling of putting her story out into the world. \\n\\xa0\\nWe also celebrate her achievement of landing on Amazon\\u2019s Best Seller List in the Breast Cancer category. I know the hard work she poured into this book will help the people it reaches. As you learn how Dee walked through her difficult seasons, you will be inspired to stop playing it small, and start going after the things you long to see in your life. And we all have a story to tell, so don\\u2019t underestimate how many people you could also reach with your own.\\n\\xa0\\nRead Dee\\u2019s book here:\\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Beauty-Breakdown-Finding-Peace-Disruptions-ebook/dp/B0BTRLZRRZ?ref_=ast_author_mpb
