Summary

Hey Podulters! Welcome to Adulting 2.0: The Timelines.


This week I’m talking to Shelley Syme. Shelley’s timeline completely shifted when at the age of 29 she found a lump under her armpit and was subsequently diagnosed with breast cancer, which had spread to her lymph nodes as well, which led her to make the brave decision to have a mastectomy. We connected online after Shelley wrote a gorgeous poem about her feelings towards her breasts on a post I did for Breast Cancer Awareness month. 


We talk about finding that life changing lump, reframing your mentality around your body, dating, not wanting children and her love of snooker. 


I hope you enjoy, and as always please do rate, review and subscribe.
