Breast Intentions

World Breast Cancer Day! 🩷🎀
"I have softened into my hard edges. I spent so many years shaming and picking apart my body, trying to improve and perfect it. Now I stand in awe of what my body is capable of—its resilience, and everything else I had taken for granted." -

The comeback IS always Stronger than the setback! 🩷

Today played heavy on my heart and caught myself running down a rather deep path of replaying all I have endured, all the parts of this journey that have impacted me, the people who have held my hand and heart and walked this journey with me, to the ones I have lost along the way, I hold you forever in my heart. And through all the reminiscing, I developed a whole new outlook, how proud I am that this body despite the challenges has remained strong and grounded and fought damn hard and is still going no matter the challenges at hand, my body has not given up on me and my mind has remained focused and positive, sometimes the best you can do is reflect and give yourself some damn love and appreciation- its hard as we are own worst enemies but it truly does give you a whole new sense of self love and fulfillment.

To those fighting, I thought of you hard today and prayed for strength and healing, for those we have lost to any form of battle with cancer, I cried for you today and send some wishes to heaven to make sure you okay, for those who have faced this journey and won- I know what it took to get there, I admire you! 🩷

3 years ago, today I received my Cancer Diagnoses, to think back at the time how this was such a defining moment of the life ahead of you is surreal. Cancer never was the final definition for my life ahead of me, the engraved prognosis of the remainder of my life here, it was just the beginning of one hell of a journey, it made me realise my true strength, it made me question everything, made me recognize my individual resilience to overcome, created a path of empowerment and created a whole new version of myself that I wouldn’t be proud of to be today if it wasn’t for the journey cancer led me to endure and conquer. It made me understand the true version of being brave, courageous, and vulnerable. These were qualities that I needed to experience. Cancer broke down walls in my heart, made me love myself harder, a whole new respect was built for the body I have and all it has had to go through, taught me self- patience, self- kindness, and made me heal versions of myself I had supressed for many years, the healing was a magnitude of aspects but I chose to speak up and heal out loud, be uncomfortable in the process and chose to never let the odds defeat me, never let my mind fold at the negativity and my heart to remain grounded. The journey has tested me, made me crumble at times, but never defeated me. 3 years later, I am somewhat humbled by this journey. You always have a choice on how to respond to what life offers you, I chose to choose the path less travelled, and it has led me to beautiful people, spaces, places and a person I am today. To those receiving a cancer diagnosis for the first time, I got you, for those fighting on, I support you, for those we have lost along the way, I hold you tightly in my heart, for those that have survived, I resonate with you.🩷

Women’s Empowerment Event 2025.🩷

“If you knew the extent of what a person had to endure to have the impact, empathy, and outlook they have today, you wouldn’t be intimidated. You would be empowered.”

MY Story is just the beginning, YOUR continuation, YOUR ending!🖤

On the 8th and 9th of August 2025, I got to share my journey with a force of Women, and impactful village of women in Bloemfontein. This event was one that fell nothing short of resilience, love, strength, vulnerability, and braveness. My dream is to make sure not a single soul walks this life path alone no matter what life throws at us, to create safety and unity for women, to educate women about all the aspects in my journey with breast cancer, where I was uneducated to begin with, to create a vulnerable space for women to speak up and to be heard, listened to and held while we all walking each other home. To heal, to recognize our worth, to acknowledge we are enough, and to be stronger together to fight like a damn girl!🩶

The girl you once were, heal for her. The woman you are now, protect her, the queen you were created to be fight for her.🩷

Yesterday, the 9th of August- Women's Day, marked the 3 year mark since my initial biopsy. Surreal and bittersweet day as usual. While remembering the strength and resilience of women, while remembering one's taken too soon, while remembering the endurance and beauty amongst the beautiful mess, never forgetting to remember and commend the strong village of women who supported me, stood beside me and the women who fought bravely with me, and continue to do so, the force of women is a something to be recognized.🎀🩷

Out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope!
World Cancer Day - to those fighting, I see you, the ones faced with the aftermath of this fight, I hold you close in my heart!

To the ones who have lost the battle - forever in our hearts.
Fight on fighter! 🩷

Despite the challenges, despite the complications, despite the ongoing medical situations and despite enduring another long surgical procedure on the 23rd of October, you need to take a deep breathe, change your perspective, love your body extra hard because man it's been through it, going through it, it is tired but wont give up without a fight! And remember, be kind to yourself and your heart. This machine of a body is fighting on no matter what. There is so much to be thankful for!

Your scars are signs to others that there's hope, hope to overcome, hope to fight on, scars are damn beautiful! 🩷

Fight like a girl! 🥊🥋

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 🌸🩷

Check your breasts, save them all, big and small! 🎀

It isn't an easy Journey, it's life changing and scary. But forever grateful and blessed to be here.

This month I have chosen to embark on the "I love bo***es" challenge together with the most inspirational and supportive beautiful Human, who has played a pivitol roll in my journey, not just my cancer, but in my journey of life. My biggest mentor in my educational journey as well. You always believed in me!

The challenge is my give back to women and men to get screened and get tested. Early detection saves lives. Making an impact one step of hope at a time.

This challenge is a personal challenge too, as many know open water swimming was my passion, upon diagnosis this suddenly became an impossible thing to do. Due to multiple surgeries and treatment, my body is still recovering and trying to be "normal", this will be my first time doing a swim amounting to 10km for this challenge over this month. I am excited to get back in the water and have been given the go-ahead from my oncology/ medical team.🎀

“A strong woman knows she has strength enough for the journey, but a woman of strength knows it is in the journey where she will become strong.”🌸

Happy Woman's Day to all the beautiful,inspiration, strong, and big hearted woman. The woman who has encouraged me and stood by me. You will never know the impact you have had on me.🩷

I carry today and always deep in my heart, 2 years ago today, I remember the gut dropping moment of the simple words after a 2 second sonar "I need to biopsy now, you okay?" And the tears flowed boldly. The life changing day, the day the pain of a local anesthetic wasn't enough, and the day my life will forever be changed. The journey of bravery, growth and ultimate strength would be my holding ground for these two years, today I am humbled and thankful to my body for all the pokes, operations, procedures, complications, prognosis and ongoing treatments and hurdles we are still facing, it has carried me through it all- even when my mind was tired, this body never gave up!

Celebrating woman today and always! You can do hard things and just remember, being scared means you are about to embark on a journey of bravery and it's OK! 🩷
