CJ Grace: Rebuilding Life After Betrayal and Cancer
So if something doesn't work anymore, well it goes on to the tip, and we're no longer used to mending things, and I think that also applies to relationships.
Picture this: you're celebrating your 25th wedding anniversary in Hawaii, only to find out two years later that your husband has a mistress and you're diagnosed with breast cancer. That's the rollercoaster life of CJ Grace. In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with CJ, a former BBC journalist and voiceover artist, to discuss how she turned her life around after facing such immense challenges.
CJ's story is not just about survival but about thriving despite the odds. She shares her journey of dealing with her husband's infidelity and the emotional and physical toll of cancer. Instead of succumbing to despair, CJ developed a six-part program to use adversity as a catalyst for reinvention. She emphasizes the importance of self-love, living in the present, and focusing on personal growth.
Throughout the conversation, CJ provides practical advice on how to move forward after trauma, manage mental health issues, and mend or let go of relationships that no longer serve us. Her wicked sense of humor and refusal to play the victim make her story both relatable and inspiring. If you're looking for a dose of resilience and practical tips on how to navigate life's toughest challenges, this episode is a must-listen.
