In this deeply personal episode of the I Saved You. Now Do The Dishes Podcast. I share the raw truth about learning to surrender—to the uncertainty, the pain, and the moments in between—while my husband battled through cancer treatment.
As his pain intensified and narcotics became a necessity, I had to navigate not just the timing of his pain management doses, his calorie intake, and all his treatment appointments but also the weight of my own emotions.
I accepted I was back in burnout during the third week of his cancer treatment. And the thing that always helped me express pent-up emotions was finding simple joy in everyday life.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt alone in the struggle and needed a reminder that surrender isn’t giving up—it’s releasing fear little by little and making room for grace.
