Walking with Westy- Episode 8- The Mental Spiral

In this episode, I open up about the emotional crash that hits after the appointments slow down, the adrenaline fades, and the reality of healing settles in. I talk about the waves of fear, grief, anxiety, and loneliness that show up weeks after surgery and how the mind finally catches up to everything the body has been through.

From the loss of normal life, to the quiet moments when the heaviness hits, to the small bursts of hope that pull me back up, this episode is an honest look at the mental side of recovery that so many women experience but rarely talk about.

If you’re walking through a similar spiral, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone, you’re not failing, and you’re not expected to hold it all together. This is part of healing and we’re walking it together.
