Ep 19: I'm Back - Life After Cancer, Healing, and Starting Again Slowly

I’m back. 💛

After taking time to pause and heal, I’m finally sharing my story again—my cancer journey, the lessons I’ve learned, and how life completely changed my perspective.

In this comeback episode, I talk about what it means to slow down, to stop forcing things, and to start living more intentionally. From going through chemo to navigating life after illness, this is a reflection on healing—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.

This podcast will continue to be a space for real conversations about life, peace, faith, and growth. I’ll be sharing more of my journey—the highs, the lows, and everything in between—while reminding you to celebrate every breath and every moment.

If you’re going through something, feeling lost, or simply needing a pause—this space is for you.

✨ Let’s start again, slowly.

There was a time when I thought I needed to explain my silence to justify why I stopped, why I disappeared, why I paused. But life has a way of humbling you, of slowing you down, whether you're ready or not. And in that stillness, I realized something. Not everything is meant to be forced. Not everything is meant to be rushed. And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is to pause, to breathe, and to simply stay. Because sometimes surviving is already a victory, healing is already progress. And choosing to come back, that's already courage. And today I'm here stronger, softer, and more grateful than ever. Hello beautiful souls. Welcome to the Awakened Soul Podcast. I'm Tin and join me in this space for healing, self-growth, and transformation. Remember, healing isn't just physical, it's the totality of mind, body, and soul. And always, always, celebrate every breath. Hello beautiful souls. I miss this. I really, really miss this. I miss talking like this. I missed sharing. I missed having this pace where I can just be real, be honest, and just connect. And coming back here right now, it feels exciting. It feels a little emotional, but in a good way. Like coming home after being away for so long. The past year has been a lot, but actually better than my 2024. I went through chemo, the stronger version, faced challenges with my liver and kidney, and experienced moments that truly changed me. And in the middle of all that, I had to pause everything, including this. Not because I didn't love it anymore, but because life asked me to choose differently, to choose healing, to choose rest, to choose myself. And one of the biggest realizations I've had through all of this is this. I've learned to move with intention as long as I get to create something meaningful, as long as I get to help even one cancer patient, as long as what I do comes from a place of purpose and love. That's already enough for me. More than enough, actually. Because when you go through something like this, everything changes. Your priorities, they shift. Your mindset shifts. Even the way you see time shifts. Things that used to feel important don't feel as heavy anymore. And the things we often take for granted, like peace, rest, and even just breathing, suddenly becomes everything. And now I'm learning to live like that, to slow down, to be present, actually to be more present, to make sure that the time and energy I give goes to what truly matters. Because life is not just about being busy, it's about being intentional. And I also just want to say this with a full heart thank you to everyone who stayed, to everyone who didn't leave, to everyone who kept listening, downloading, and waiting. Even when I wasn't here, I saw the messages, I saw the numbers, and honestly, it surprised me in the best way. The fact that people from different parts of the globe are still listening to this, that somehow I get to be a part of your day while you're walking, traveling, resting, or just simply quietly sipping your coffee. That already makes me so happy. And it reminds me why I love doing this. Well, I don't want to make big promises, but I do want to say this that you know I'm just so excited to be back, and I do plan to share more episodes, not just about positivity and peaceful living, but also more of my real journey. The highs, the lows, the lessons, the days that feel strong, and even the days that don't. Because healing is not just about staying positive, it's about being real, it's about allowing yourself to feel everything and still choosing to move forward. And of course, I would really love to hear from you if you have questions, if there are any topics you want me to talk about, or even just you know, something you want to share, you can message me on Instagram at wonder mom that ph that's w with an a not o.

And of course, before I end this episode, I just want to remind you that you don't have to rush your life, you don't have to force your timeline, you don't have to have everything figure it out. It's okay to pause, it's okay to rest, and it's always, always okay to start again. Celebrate your breath, celebrate your small wins, celebrate the quiet moments that no one sees. Because sometimes the most beautiful progress is the one that happens silently, and if there's one thing I've learned through everything, it's this life is not meant to be perfect, it's meant to be felt, appreciated, and lived one moment at a time. I'm just so happy you're here. I missed this, I missed you. And if this page speaks to you, you can just listen to this podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
