Ep. 5 Jasmine Mariani, Carving Her Own Path Part II
My guest today is Jasmine Mariani, I discovered Jasmine through a friend who shared her instagram profile with me — Jasmine was seeking a place to share her journey of being diagnosed with cancer and moving through treatment, as well — arriving back into her past life after diagnosis… feeling like she had in a sense “lost” time. What struck me most about Jasmine was her desire to share the rawness of her story — the things she feels like ‘people were not talking about openly’ in terms of moving through the process of cancer. At 28 years old, Jasmine was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. This episode, Part I & II is her intimate recollection on this point of time in her life story. Jasmine’s perspective on her journey is truly gracious in the most humble of ways, this is one of the most inspiring conversations I have ever had. Jasmine is an architect and interior designer by trade. She recently opened a sustainable floral arrangement studio and is co partner of The Shelter Project an NGO based out of Indonesia developed ‘to support communities displaced by natural disasters —’ This is Part II of the episode, if you haven't listened to Part I already I highly recommend you do so now. In this Part II of the interview we talk about; - Jasmine's second round of chemotherpay - The death of her dog, Nana (her soul mate) that would be the event to teach her acceptance in life, a point of view she carries into her journey with cancer - Adopting a Buddhist perspective throughout her adulthood - We touch again on this unlearning and relearning of communication that Jasmine went through as one of her greatest lessons - The toxic positivity (and language) around cancer - Dealing with reintegration into 'normal' life and watching everyone around her continue on with their lives - A great shift in self-awareness - Releasing relationships through her process of having cancer ... and so much more Find all the show notes and extra exclusive content on the; Muses of Bella online platform, follow the link BELOW https://musesofbella.substack.com SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ** to join the; FREE Breath Work & Meditation Commitment for this month of November, follow the link BELOW musesofbella.substack.com/p/november-b…d-meditation
