Navigating Client Work During Recurring Cancer Diagnosis
Long before they approach the crossroads such as monumental birthdays, some women experience an event that changes their perception of what fulfillment looks like.
A diagnosis of cancer can profoundly shift our perspective about what is important and what is best … for us.
When this monumental shift involves our personal AND our professional lives, we are forced to reflect on our desire, our capabilities, and our capacity to continue our work.
We negotiate our workload to navigate the demands of client work and our own expectations for our performance while honouring the healthy integration of work, life, and self-care.
