In Episode 111, I speak with business owner, lover of life and absolute inspiration, Rhianne Miller. Rhianne thought her life was travelling just as she wanted: a job she loved, great friends and she had just celebrated her 32nd birthday. She declared it would be her best year yet. Well, it was definitely a transformational year, for sure, just not in the way she expected. The diagnosis of breast cancer, brutal treatment, mastectomy, a failed breast reconstruction led her to decide to live without her right breast. This sent her on a journey she didn't even realise she needed to go on. With the wisdom and perspective she has gathered, she found self-love, courage to be herself, honesty, vulnerability and about choosing herself. It is an incredible conversation you do not want to miss.
The first thing you will notice about Rhianne Miller, as soon as she starts speaking, is that she is totally down-to-earth and passionate about loving her life. The first statement she made that grabbed my attention was that her goal is to live a life that she doesn't need a holiday from. That is the life she has created for herself, so if that isn't a reason to listen to find out how she did that, I don't know what is.
Just a few years ago, Rhianne's life was travelling along beautifully. She was happy, seemingly healthy, had a great job and was loving her life. Soon after her 32nd birthday a breast cancer diagnosis rocked her world. She was expecting a great year, but was she ended up with was a journey that has totally transformed her life. After all the treatment, a mastectomy and a failed reconstruction, she decided that she would just live with one breast, and love herself anyway. She has publicly and unashamedly honored herself and her body as a message to all people that they are beautiful, just the way they are.
Rhianne is using her challenge and journey as a way to help other people experiencing adversity in their lives. She is currently developing an online wellness hub called Rhivive, as a one-stop shop where she is bringing together wellness businesses to nurture people through difficult times. She is now choosing herself and encourages people everywhere to choose themselves. She is an enthusiastic and passionate beacon of light and hope for every single person, and this truly is a conversation that everyone needs to hear.
