Saskia Lightstar On How To Create Our Best Self EP 48

Saskia Lightstar thought she was living it big when she enjoyed the party girl lifestyle in South Africa. It turns out it was her low point, as she dealt with eating disorders and self-image issues. Then her biggest test came when she learned she had cancer. It was at that point after beating breast cancer she learned the true meaning of how to create our best self. It starts with self-love and kindness. Like this? Please subscribe, and join me on my new platform for personal development: https://passionstruck.com/. In this powerful Passion Struck podcast interview, John R. Miles and Saskia Lightstar discuss creating our best selves. For Saskia, it started by her understanding her self-narrative and that it needed to change. Why she considers herself a cancer misfit, and how that has completely changed her outlook on life. Creating Our Best Self In 2013, following her treatment for breast cancer, Saskia found that she was struggling to adapt to her new life. For her, the emotions that were put aside during her breast cancer treatment returned, and she felt stuck in a no man's land, overwhelmed with remorse, fear,  and sadness. Saskia Lightstar felt like a cancer misfit, healed physically but still struggling mentally and emotionally with the trauma she'd endured.  Saskia fell into a deep, deep depression. After cancer, she would try to look up the topic of life after treatment or support after cancer treatment, and she couldn't find anything. There's so much information when you're diagnosed, and you're going through it, and then suddenly, just because you're finished the treatment, it's like you're done.  It was a good two or three years that she was quite a lost soul. And it was that rock bottom. For Saskia, that made her think, "Okay, you know what, I need to find a way out of this." And that's where her journey really began. Her book, The Cancer Misfit, is to catch survivors and take them to that bit when you don't know what's next, how you're feeling, or who you are anymore. That's why She is dedicating her life to helping other cancer survivors, so they don't go through the same misery as she did.
