Author and podcast host Georgie Crawford, after battling breast cancer, shares how the experience led to a profound understanding of herself and the importance of prioritizing her well-being.
Georgie Crawford has opened up on the 'greatest gift' her cancer battle has given her. The author and podcast host was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017 and was given the all clear in late 2018 after receiving extensive treatment. The mum-of-two is incredibly in tune with her body and mind now, prioritising her physical and mental health daily.
She admitted that being aware of how she is feeling and getting to know herself was the only upside of the awful event - but admits it can also be hard to be so hyper-aware of it. Speaking to RSVP Magazine, Georgie explained: 'I think anyone who’s come through a disease and has come out the other side is hyper-aware, almost too aware, of what’s going on inside your body. But honestly, one of the greatest gifts I was given from my diagnosis was truly getting to know myself inside and out. Knowing how I feel today and questioning that and bringing things up with people if I’m feeling a little bit off or a little bit vulnerable. It was one of the greatest gifts, but sometimes you are so aware of everything.' The Good Glow host also said that her cancer diagnosis is a huge contributing factor to the importance she puts on looking after herself inside and out now. 'It’s hard not to say my cancer diagnosis, because obviously it’s always on my mind, but I do try to reframe how I think about life. Instead of looking back, I try to look forward,' said Georgie. 'Instead of thinking, ‘I have to go on a run because I had cancer’, or ‘I have to eat well because I had cancer’, I say to myself, ‘I want to go for a run so that I get to live for my daughters. I want to eat well so I get to live a long, healthy and happy life
