20 Years in Remission: How Cancer Sparked My Healing Journey
02.26 Weekly Drop ✨
In today’s mix of magic + musings: Upcoming ⚡️ Energy Update + 🪄 a spell to help alchemize. Followed by 🫶 Client Corner, 💁♀️ Story Time from me, 🔮 Oracle Insights from the heavens, 💕things I’m loving right now.
⚡️ Week of February 26 Energy Update:
🐟 Thursday, February 26th Mercury stations Retrograde in Pisces and this is going to be a doozie—like a truth bomb, wrapped in a fever dream. Mercury Retrograde in Pisces is intensely intuitive and psychic, but completely ungrounded, so expect the unexpected. You might experience a random text that changes everything, a miscommunication that cracks something wide open, or an old situation resurfacing when you least expect it.
Whatever you’ve been avoiding, suppressing, or pretending isn’t there? Well, it’s coming up. This retrograde wants you to stop filtering reality through what you wish were true and start seeing what actually is. That might mean a conversation finally clicks differently, or you have a moment of clarity about someone you’ve been making excuses for.
With the North Node in the mix, this isn’t just a retrograde—it’s a redirection. The next three weeks could genuinely reshape where your life is heading. Stay discerning, stay honest with yourself, and keep a dream journal because your subconscious is about to go off.
🐝 Saturday, Feb 28 is a Venus-Mercury Conjunction in Pisces AND a Beehive Cluster. This is heart = mind energy. Venus is all about love, beauty, and what you value, while Mercury is how you think and communicate. Together they create this beautiful window where your head and heart are actually on the same page for once. If there’s something you’ve been feeling but couldn’t find the words for, today’s the day it all makes sense.
On top of that, the Moon is cozying up to the Beehive Cluster—an ancient group of about a thousand stars in Cancer known as The Manger. Spiritually, it’s connected to nurturing, community, and ancestral wisdom. Think of it as a thousand little cosmic fireflies lighting up your path. With the Moon activating this energy, don’t be surprised if you feel a deep pull toward your people, your roots, or a sense of belonging you can’t quite explain.
This the perfect day to speak from your heart or reconnect with someone you love. The universe is literally aligning love and language.
🌖 There’s a Total Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse on Tuesday, March 3.
This eclipse means business. Virgo energy is about getting all aspect of your life together and it’s coming in hot with a “no more excuses” attitude. If you’ve been tolerating chaos or settling for less than you deserve, this is your cosmic eviction notice.
Let go of the guilt, the shame, the over-explaining. Ask for what you actually want and then ::gasp:: let yourself have it. No earning it, no proving you’re worthy of it. Just receiving. This eclipse is handing you an upgrade. Stop negotiating and say yes.
💫This is your time to stop negotiating with the truth and start building your life around it. The Universe if handing you clarity, connection, AND a fresh start all in the same week. Trust what’s being revealed, say what your heart already knows, and allow yourself to receive!
🪄 Alchemize the Energy:
This isn’t just a full moon. It’s a total lunar eclipse landing on 3/3, carrying the energy of 333 — alignment, expansion, and divine support. Eclipses are cosmic accelerators. They close chapters, crack open new ones, and amplify everything you put into motion.
To harness the energy write a letter to the Universe and start with: “I’m ready for...” and get all your hopes, wishes, dreams, and desires out on paper. Be unapologetically detailed in everything you want. and don’t forget to describe how it feels (present tense)! The Universe would never put a limit on what you could receive and neither should you.
Seal it by stating: When I declare my desires, abundance rises to meet me.
Then fold it up and tuck it away somewhere sacred. I like to think of this as planting seeds in the spring that you’ll harvest later. Come August 12, when we have a Total Solar Eclipse in Leo you’re going to take your letter out and burn it. What began as intention under the Virgo lunar eclipse transforms into embodied truth under the Leo solar eclipse.
Prior to an eclipse I like to clean, physically and energetically. Eclipses are about endings and new beginnings and stagnant energy in your environment works against that. Some things to consider doing this weekend:
Clean your house. You don’t need to deep clean just an intentional refresh
Smudge. Sage (to clear all energy) or palo santo (to clear negative energy)
Salt at your door. Sprinkle a line across the entry to your home to energetically protect your space from energy that’s not yours
Spiritual Bath. Soak in epsom salt, florida water, rosemary or lavender
Digital detox. Delete old texts or photos, unfollow accounts that drain you
Rest. Eclipses are energetically draining so hydrate, ground, slow down
Journal. Here are some prompts to get you started:
For Releasing…
Where in my life have I been settling and calling it “being grateful”?
What truths have I been avoiding because accepting them means something might to change?
Who am I still performing for? And what would happen if I just stopped?
For Receiving…
Where have I been subconsciously blocking myself from receiving?
If shame wasn’t a factor, what would I ask for out loud today?
If I trusted that I was fully worthy right now, what would I let myself have?

She brings things to the surface, helps reframe perspectives, and offers insights you might not have considered, then lets you work through them at your own pace. Sometimes you need a reset, a reminder of your own power, or help getting out of a rut. Sometimes all three at once. Christina creates a safe space to gently explore that stuck energy, and her intuition feels genuinely attuned to what you need to hear and when you’re ready to receive it.”

💁♀️ Story Time:
My 20 year remission anniversary was on Tuesday! YAY 🥳
As happy as I am to say I’m a cancer survivor, it also feels soooo weird, because I feel like I’ve lived 100 lifetimes since then. I remember everyone being so proud of me. I had done it. I’d survived. The war had been waged, and while there were a few casualties along the way (like my hair), I somehow came out on the other side. From that moment forward, I'd carry a new title: survivor. I walked out of the hospital clutching a certificate (LOL) and hope for a brighter, healthier future.
At 21, I was the youngest person in the oncology office. The last thing I wanted to do was sit in a room with a bunch of old sick people for 4 - 5 hours every other Friday to receive treatment. To make it worse, I often had to do it alone. My dad would drop me off since he couldn't "handle sitting there." You can't see me, but I'm rolling my eyes right now. I'm not a parent, yet if I were, the last thing I would do is let my kid sit and suffer alone.
God knows I love my dad, but in moments like that I see nothing but weakness. At the time, I couldn't understand how or why that could be difficult for him. It felt selfish. It felt like I'd been discarded. Now that I'm out of it, I understand that being human is just... hard and we're all doing our best to navigate life.
Throughout the entirety of my treatment, I constantly found myself having to help others grieve, process, or "deal" with my diagnosis. Not the other way around. They couldn't handle the news. The irony. Meanwhile, I'm hooked up with an IV in my hand and a port in my chest, receiving another dose of The Red Devil, dazed and confused from all the drugs and simultaneously feeling like I'm about to hurl. Insert tiny, almost laughable, plastic bucket here.
"Red Devil" chemo refers to Doxorubicin, a potent red-colored chemotherapy drug used for breast cancer, lymphomas, and sarcomas. Known for high efficacy against cancer, it earns its nickname from severe, often harsh side effects—particularly significant hair loss, nausea, and long-term heart damage
One of the cruelest jokes of chemo is the relentless nausea without any relief. No purge. No release. Just this constant, uneasy war between good and evil cells raging inside my body. I never ended up needing the bucket, though maybe that was sheer willpower—I was always terrified of something splashing up to hit my face. Ugh 🤢 even just the thought is so gross.
I don't share any of this looking for sympathy. That's literally the last thing I want from anyone. Ever. I share it to remind myself of how strong I am. To remind myself that I was able to hold space for everyone else's emotions while my body was destroying itself from the inside out.
Sometimes we have a role to play in life, even when we don't want it. Our light burns so bright that we can't help but illuminate the people around us, reminding them that it will all be okay. And every now and then, even when we think it's about us, it actually isn’t. We are all reflections of each other, and the only way to recognize that is by getting out of our own bullshit. I didn't learn any of this from a book. I learned it while hooked up to an IV at 21 years old.
My capacity for pain and trauma runs deeper than I ever thought possible. By the time I was diagnosed with the big C, I just figured this was how life goes. So if I was going to possibly die at any moment, then YOLO. I was going to have as much fun as I possibly could.
The weeks I received chemo, I'd be ungodly sick. The weeks after, though? Back to almost normal. Which means the party didn’t stop. No way was I going to let a little thing like cancer stop me from going out. On any given night you might find me at Bamboo Room, Alumni Club, Coach House, or Dakota's ripping shots and my wig off in the bathroom, since those things retain A LOT of heat.
If I was going to lose my hair, I was going to look damn cute while doing it. I can't tell you how many people would compliment ‘my hair’. And at $700 a pop, they better. I'd smile, say thanks, then lift my wig right off my head just to watch their face. One time a guy said, "I think your hairline just moved!"
As much as cancer is a tragedy, it also brings people together. People showed up for me in ways I never could have imagined. The outpouring of love and thoughtfulness from friends, family, and strangers alike was overwhelming. There's nothing quite like a life-altering diagnosis to hold up a mirror and show you the ways you've touched the people around you.
The most unexpected (wink wink). I used to call it Smoking For A Cause. One of the best ways to combat the unrelenting nausea was smoking a little weed, and honestly, there's something beautiful about a cancer diagnosis bringing all the neighborhood drug dealers together. Talk about unity in tragedy. ;)
2006 was the year my life shifted. The year my journey to healing truly started. I hate that it took something so extreme for me to wake up and realize just how little love or regard I held for myself. I wish I could have figured it out simply by looking in the mirror or reading a book, but I only seem to have two speeds, 0 or 100, so it tracks.
What I know now is that none of it was wasted. Every ounce of pain, every moment of suffering, gave me something I can offer to others. I can teach through my own experience. I can help the collective grow and heal in hopes that they’ll avoid the extremes I went through.
Above all else, I get to show what’s possible when you start loving and choosing yourself. That’s why my business is called Heal Everything — because I know and believe that together, we CAN heal EVERYTHING!
