Why I started my own podcast

Writing is a passion of mine, has been since my high school days when I took creative writing.  It was something that I was told I was good at, and that gave me some type of confidence in myself.  I wasn't always sure of myself, or confident in that I was smart just like my peers.  Writing has been a tool that I use to write my thoughts, feelings, struggles and kind of a way to heal myself.  This has been a useful tool in my life, I recommend journaling for anyone who is looking to heal and learn about themselves.  However, I also love speaking to others, and helping them find the tools within themselves for inner healing.  I guess that is why I have always loved psychology, is what I studied in college as an undergrad.  It allowed me to learn about the human experience, and how our lives are shaped by not only our environment, but the way we are raised as well.   But I also later on worked with families whose children were sexually abused, or whose parents were victims of domestic violence.  It showed me a reality about life in that as humans we all no matter where we come from face struggles, whether its divorce, loss of employment, domestic violence, sexual abuse, discrimination, financial crisis, etc.  We all either learn from these experiences or repeat them over and over until we learn, and eventually evolve.  It is for this reason that today I want to use my voice, my writing, and fashion which is an expression of who we are to touch other people's lives.  This is why I started podcasting, it is a channel that I can use to share not only my story but of others as well.  I want to let you know that your environment, your childhood experience does not determine your future, does not say who you will be.  You are the author of your life, and you decide and make the choices.  You can choose to live in agony, in pain, hatred, anger, all those emotions, or you can choose a life of joy and peace.  Healing is a process; a slow process, and the journey will not be easy, but is worthy.  I am continuing my own healing, because it is a process and it will never end, but I am aware of my flaws, and what I need to work on and that is part of my journey.  My podcast is here to serve you, and a channel for you to learn about me and my guests but also ask questions. 

I am a girl from the Bronx, raised in the hood in a single family home.  I have evolved over the years, and have learned that my upbringing and where I lived does not determine who I am meant to be.  I have been through darkness but the light has always been by my side.  We are destined for more, I want you to believe that it is possible for you; that all you dream of is possible, and all you need is faith and action of course.  Allow yourself to feel the pain, but then get up and fight.  Let the shells crack, and you will see yourself being free of it all.  I hope that you continue with me on this journey, through my blog and podcast.  If you are willing to join me then don't only join me on my blog, but subscribe to my podcast to get inspired and lifted every week on Mindfulness With Millie.  My wish is to help find your way on this journey we call life.  Thank you for your support, leave your comment or question and I will gladly answer.  Peace and love always.

Sincerely, 
Millie

Is it Cancer or Chemo

 To hear that you have Cancer is one of the most devastating word you can ever try to assimilate.  I was told in 2018 that I had Cancer, and it took me by surprise.  I was shocked, in disbelief, and thought of death right away.  I knew there was something wrong with me at that moment because I was sick for months, but never thought it was Cancer.  This disease is hard on both the one who has it and those who care for you.  However, many think that having Cancer is horrible which it is but not many know that chemotherapy is what really deteriorates a person.  This treatment is full of toxicity, it kills the bad cells, but also the good cells.  It affects the entire body and plenty of times its side effects are sometimes hard to deal with. When it comes to chemotherapy, we only think about hair loss, but that is not its only weapon.  I have been taking chemotherapy for 2 years and a half now and I had good moments and bad moments.  The bad...

What were the symptoms?

What were the symptoms? What did you feel before you found out you had Cancer? I get these questions from people who know me, but also from the nurses who draw my blood before a procedure has to be done.  Usually people ask the question and a second later say 'you know because you are so young'.  My response is usually 'yea you are right especially for Colon Cancer, due to it being more common on people who are 50 years or older.  However, my primary doctor told me in the past 5 years he has seen an increase in younger people being diagnosed with Colon Cancer. Mine is stage IV which you might say 'holy crap, what is your survival rate?'  And when I say stage IV it means that the Cancer did metastasis; in other words it spread to other parts of my body other than the colon.  Usually in Colon Cancer when it spreads it tends to spread to the liver.  So yes mine did spread to my liver.  Can you believe I did not ask my oncologist what is the survival ...

Trust the signs and your journey

I remember sitting in my sofa with my head up almost as if I was looking up to the sky and asking God, the universe how I ended up here with Cancer.  I was thinking of the plans I had for this year, of traveling, growing my business, and now all of that had come to a stop.  I kept having this conversation in my head with God.  How at 33 years of age I was handed this illness, why me? But then in that same conversation I said to God, I know these were my plans, and I had many things I wanted to do, but I let go and let you guide me and let your plans be done in my life.  After I had this conversation with God, I then just get my phone and get on Instagram because that is what we do right when we don't have nothing else to do, we just look at our phones.  So I scroll through my Instagram and the first post I see stops me cold, as I read it I was amazed at how every single word in that post was for me.  It was weird, but throughout my lifetime I seen 'weird' o...
