Most of us grip tighter when life feels uncertain. We work harder, plan more, and try to control everything within reach.
This week I'm joined by Bron Watson, a nurse, educator, and entrepreneur who built a thriving coaching business while a quiet voice kept telling her something wasn't right. She ignored it until a breast cancer diagnosis in 2017 changed everything. Five years later, a second diagnosis followed: an incurable blood cancer.
In this conversation, Bron and I talk about what it costs to override your own intuition, and what it actually means to control the controllables when nothing feels controllable at all. We get into her "saber-tooth tiger" business model, the moment she shut her mastermind down overnight, and why she now believes everyone can heal, even when not everyone gets a cure.
If you've ever pushed through something your gut told you to stop and look at, pop in those earphones.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
- How Bron's "saber-tooth tiger" model fed off her own energy until she couldn't safely get off
- Why "just let it go" can feel dismissive — and what Bron does instead when emotion hits
- How Bron's husband uses "the pause" to create space before reacting
- What it means to be the CEO of your own "executive committee," and who actually belongs on it
- Why Bron wants the word "cure" dropped from how we talk about cancer altogether
- How a roadmap, not a fixed plan, helped Bron navigate setbacks without losing direction
RESOURCES MENTIONED
-
The Serenity Prayer (referenced by Bron throughout the episode)
-
Bron's upcoming book, Be Where Your Feet Are
