On this episode of Finding Grace today I am joined by Em Deacon, who was a Dr in the NHS but after a diagnosis of stage four breast cancer, she is no longer is a DR but co runs Deacon wellbeing with her husband and is navigating the place she is in right now, she uses her social media to show you can make it count what ever is going on in your life. Em is a mum to a three year old girl and lives with her husband.

I came across Ems social media account after the lovely Jessica Huie shared it, Jessica was a previous podcast guest on here. I felt compelled after seeing Ems account to reach to her and share her story and wisdom on here.

We talk about how changing the narrative can really help shift you, and why it’s been important for her.
We discuss, self acceptance v self improvement, and how she relates to this.
We get on the subject of allowing yourself to still feel good about herself and sexy, despite this situation and how she sees herself rather than cancer being her identity.
