It Starts With You

How to Get Through a Tough Season of Life: One Year Look Back From Hearing the Word "Melanoma"

Julie Menden Episode 132

It’s been one year since I had surgeries for melanoma that was on my face  and this episode is a personal reflection on the past year. I’m sharing what this experience has taught me about control, perspective, community, and grace through life’s hardest seasons.

If you’re in a tough season right now, I hope these lessons remind you that you’re not alone, that you have more strength than you realize, and that this season , as hard as it feels, won’t last forever.

 In this episode, I talk about:

  • Learning to release control and anchor into what you can control- your perspective, your attitude, and your response.
  • The power of community and allowing yourself to receive support when you need it most.
  • Remembering that everyone goes through tough seasons and how that reminder helped me find compassion and perspective.
  • Giving yourself permission to simply be in it. There’s no “right” way to handle hard seasons.
  • Why prioritizing your health and well-being matters more than anything else because nothing else matters if you’re not here.

If you’re walking through something hard right now, know that it’s okay to not have it all together. You’re doing your best. This is just one season, and there’s another one coming.
