"I could have jumped off a cliff at that point, if I'm being completely honest, because that's where my head was at. I was in a pretty dark space. And I was like, you know what? No, that's not where this story ends."Katie Chaffin's life turned upside down when, just weeks after giving birth to her son via C-section, excruciating pain sent her to the emergency room. What began as gallbladder issues revealed something far more serious – a mass on her kidney that would later be diagnosed as cancer. For months, she lived in limbo, caring for her newborn while carrying the weight of her uncertain health future.This conversation takes us through Katie's remarkable journey of transformation – from leading a thriving real estate team to facing mortality as a new mother, and ultimately emerging with a completely different perspective on life. With raw honesty, she shares how this experience forced her to confront her perfectionism, people-pleasing tendencies, and what she calls the "death of an ego" that had driven her ambition for years.Katie's philosophy is both simple and profound: "Anything you are not willing to change, you are choosing." Through her story, we explore how this mindset has helped her transform her health through whole foods and exercise, embrace sobriety, set boundaries with toxic relationships, and show up authentically both in business and life. Her 15-year relationship with her husband offers valuable insights into growing together through life's challenges rather than growing apart.Whether you're facing your own health crisis, navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, Katie's journey reminds us that our response to life's challenges is always our choice. As she powerfully demonstrates, sometimes our greatest struggles become the catalyst for our most meaningful growth.Be sure to like, subscribe, and follow: Katie Chaffin: IG & TikTok - @realestatewithkatieeMackenna D PhotographyAll-In ElopementsFocus On The Good Podcast
