"In the beginning, people would ask when I was planning on reconstruction and I would answer, “oh.... not right now – maybe later”, when the truth of the matter was that I had no plans for reconstruction. In fact, I have never felt more myself. I am more empowered now than ever, more myself than ever. I have a clear understanding that I am more than just this body and that love comes from within me and has always been there waiting to be seen, touched, heard. My mind is exploding with creativity and my heart is full of love and I’ve never been more grateful for this precious life.
Throughout this process I have grown to understand a deeper sense of my true nature. Cancer forced me to be a student of life. Life has and will continue to bring unforeseen challenges to me physically, emotionally and spiritually. I have experienced some of the darkest sides of me but I have also witnessed some of the brightest light coming out of me and others, and for that, I am grateful.” Nikki (@nikkileighmckean) has inspired us with her words, her story and her light for a long time. She took her story to our blog, The Lift to share the highs and lows of her journey, and what it means to be unapologetic and empowered in the face of hardships💐
