Immigration, cancer racism addiction mental illness, divorce, endometriosis, adenomyosis- Miranda Oh

I married the man of my dreams when I was just 20 years old. He was an immigrant from Africa, it took us 4 yrs. of long-distance relationship &amp; tough &amp; complicated immigration battle. We encountered racism, corruption, &amp; the obvious difficulties of a long-distance relationship. Once we finally got him approved, he moved to Canada; we thought, yay...Happily ever after right? Wrong! A few months later there was a cancer diagnosis, followed by a whole slew of other ailments like addiction, mental illness &amp; family issues to name a few. Then within a blink of an eye, he was gone. Attempting to pick up my life after all of that, sharing my story came as a way to heal &amp; help process all that happened before my 23rd birthday. Once I started writing I quickly realized that the series Chin Up Tits Out was a way to strip down different life scenarios, &amp; really talk about the feelings that rush through us in tough times. The little mantra became a daily tool to maintain balance when I needed it. If I stand confidently, I, therefore, will feel more confident; with time and dedication to that action. As book 3 was being created, my 30th birthday threw me another doozy and slapped me with an Endometriosis &amp; Adenomyosis diagnosis. So naturally, I'm using that as juice for my second series. We know life is going to get messy, &amp; that we will be faced with tough challenges along the way. I made a choice when I started to share my story that I wanted to relate, connect and inspire people. We all go through tough stuff, it's all how we receive it, juggle it &amp; move forward through it. http://www.mirandaoh.com/ (&nbsp;www.mirandaoh.com) Facebook: Miranda Oh - Chin Up Tits Out IG &amp; Twitter: Ohmirandaoh --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-naked-podcaster/message <a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/momof18">Support this podcast</a>
