Pause. Breathe. Pray.™ | Cancer Care, Patient Support, Encouragement, Hope, Diagnosis - Treatment, Chemotherapy, Faith Over Fear
Season 2 - Encouragement, Support, and Hope for Cancer Patients Season 1 - How to Live from the Inside Out Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with cancer? Are you feeling worried, scared, and uncertain about the future? Do you need encouragement, support and hope as you navigate this unexpected journey? If so, I wholeheartedly understand, and I am grateful you are here. In this podcast you will learn scripture and principles to put into practice to help you keep your eyes, ears and mind focused on Jesus so that you will experience more peace within through your cancer journey. My name is Shawn Elizabeth George. I am a wife, mother of three, dog mom to Georgia, and a follower of Jesus. In 2017, I was diagnosed with a rare salivary gland cancer, adenoid cystic carcinoma, when a tumor was found in my nasal cavity, growing into the roof of my mouth. From diagnosis and surgery through treatments with proton beam radiation and low-dose chemotherapy, I journaled about what I learned about God through my experience. Why? Because I believed that God uses all things for good, and if I made it through, I wanted to support others facing cancer, along with their families and friends, by sharing what I learned to encourage them. Throughout my cancer journey, using God’s Word as my cornerstone was transformational. I am grateful to be here to share what I have learned so that you can apply His Word through your journey as well and in turn be encouraged, feel supported and have hope. Whether you follow Jesus or not, please know you are welcome here and are invited you to join me to… Pause. Breathe. Pray.™ Let’s invite God into your cancer journey and embrace His Word as our guide to care for your mind, body, and soul. Sit back, relax, and listen. Let’s take a step of faith together on this transformational, healing journey. With love, care and hope, Shawn www.shawnelizabethgeorge.com

About Shawn:
Shawn is an old soul who is young at heart. She loves to sit and talk about the ‘beyond the surface’ things in life or you can find her playing games, singing along to her favorite songs, or dancing in the kitchen.
She is married to her patient husband, Stephen and they have three fun-loving kids, and a quirky black lab, Georgia. They live in Shawn's hometown in Connecticut and from the outside in, life may seem flawless.
The truth is, from the inside out, Shawn has traveled through some dark valleys in life, including walking with anxiety, depression and a rare cancer, adenoid cystic carcinoma. During her walk with with cancer Shawn had to have her palate removed but that hasn’t stopped her from speaking encouraging words into the hearts of others. Whether she is writing, speaking (with her artificial, removable palate called an obturator) or teaching, her prayer is that the words she shares encourages those who hear them, including you.

Have you ever tried to reflect something to someone that you know would benefit them to only have them brush off what you said? Has anyone ever said something to you, and you didn't want to hear it? For me, the answer to both of these questions is yes. On this week's episode of Live from the Inside Out™ I will be sharing a verse that has helped transform my view on the power of words, whether I am the one speaking, or listening, in hopes it will benefit you too.

Pause. Breathe. Pray.™
Are you someone who cares well for others but you leave little to no margin to take care of yourself? Are you seeking to make space to care for your whole well-being?
If so, you are not alone and you are in the right place! Welcome to PBP!
I’m Shawn Elizabeth George, a wife, mom of three, dog Mom to Georgia and a follower of Jesus. Even as a wellness professional, I haven’t always made time to care for my well-being yet life experiences - including a walk with cancer - have made me pause, and take a hard look at who and what matters most, and taking care of ourselves matters. I now approach caring for my whole well-being through a biblical lens, with God’s Word as my cornerstone, and it has been transformational. I am excited to share with you what I have learned so that you can put it into practice in your life as well!
Give yourself permission to press pause in your busy day, to breathe - into the present moment - and to pray. Let’s invite God into the conversation and turn to His Word as our guide to care for your whole well-being.
With care and hope,
Shawnn
