In our fifth Balanceness podcast, we talk with Kathleeen O’Malley, who is a full time working mom and blogger for Forever Chasing Fireflies. Kathleen is on a mission to share her journey of resilience, hope and journey to motherhood. As a breast cancer survivor and IVF warrior, she’s learned that life is worth every struggle and inner strength knows no bounds. She is celebrating the things that tie us all together, sharing her story with a touch of humor and hoping to inspire others to overcome their obstacles with grace and determination.
Kathleen and I have known each other for a few years and, funny enough, she is my former manager. Over the years of working with Kathleen I learned bits and pieces of her story, but it wasn’t until doing the research for this episode that I learned about her years-long struggle to have a successful pregnancy and her eventual cancer diagnosis the day after her twins were born. I feel so honored to have spent the time with Kathleen learning how these experiences challenged and strengthened her faith, how she built a toolkit to fight depression and how she continues to balance “wanting to do everything and never missing anything”.
This episode is for anyone who has struggled with fertility or illness or who wants to hear an unadulterated account of how sickness can test our will to persevere. It is also for anyone who needs to hear an inspiring tale of how little by little we may see glimmers of light that remind us how to take back our lives and live it to its fullest.
