A podcast of courage

I’ve had the immense privilege to see Karen Daniel’s strength and courage to pick herself up and keep going through the challenges her Breast Cancer Journey when she attended PINC Physio with me in 2020. She received support from the Sweet Louise Charity to attend her PINC appointments.

Karen is a mum of two and was just 41 when she received her diagnosis of advanced, incurable breast cancer in 2015. When Karen saw me she was struggling significantly with the movement, strength and function in her arms following her double mastectomy, reduction in general strength, fitness and low energy levels.

It means so much to me that Karen got back in contact with me to let me know how she is getting on and WOW – she is participating in a powerlifting competition in March 2021!

Everyone has their own journey, everyone deals with things differently, this podcast is an insight into where she has been and where she is going. Karen mentions that she found that “it requires a lot of courage and a lot of strength to pick yourself up and keep going”. Karen shared this podcast with me so that I could help her share her messages of hope, courage and support to others facing a health challenge.

So, get inspired, get empowered, get optimistic, get hopeful and get listening to this podcast now!
