This Wednesday, February 22, 2023, I spoke to a lady who really is an inspiration to everyone that meets her on my podcast “Paul G’s Corner. During our conversation, Fitz shared with me her personal experience with breast cancer and how it has impacted her life. She spoke about the challenges she faced during her treatment and how she could stay active and positive throughout the process. She said, "Cancer is a thief, but you don't have to let it steal everything from you."

One of the things that really stood out to me was Fitz's emphasis on the importance of exercise and movement during her recovery. She talked about how physical activity not only helped her stay physically strong but also gave her a sense of control and normalcy during a time when everything else felt uncertain. "Movement is medicine," she said, "and it's one of the few things you can control when you're dealing with cancer."
Fitz also shared some advice for others who may be going through a similar experience. She stressed the importance of taking things one day at a time and not getting overwhelmed by the big picture. "You don't have to climb the whole mountain today," she said, "just take one step at a time and celebrate every victory, no matter how small."
But perhaps the most inspiring part of our conversation was when Fitz talked about what she has learned from her experience with cancer. "It's really taught me to appreciate every day, to live in the moment, and to not take anything for granted," she said. "It's also given me a sense of purpose and a desire to help others who may be going through something similar."
Fitz's positive attitude and determination are truly inspiring, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to speak with her on my podcast. Her story reminds us that even in the face of adversity, we can find strength, hope, and joy.
She said, "Life is precious, and every day is a gift. So let's make the most of it."
I agree with that.
