Ep. 90 | Unveiling Vulnerability: A Mother-Son Conversation on Cancer and Healing
In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode, Dr. Avanti is joined by her son, Zayn Singh, for a candid conversation about her cancer journey. Zayn, a counseling and psychology student, provides supportive insights from his perspective as they delve into the emotional aspects of Avanti's experience. They explore the concept of holding two emotions simultaneously, the manifestation of stuck emotions in the energy body, and Avanti's deep inquiry into emotions such as anger, gratitude, isolation, connection, shame, freedom, guilt, and relief. Avanti shares her experience of expressing feelings she would normally hide, the challenges of hair loss and its impact on identity, and the journey of acceptance she is going through.
