My Mammogram Journey: Mind, Body, (Breast), & Home

I’d like to say I delayed my mammogram simply because life got in the way—but that wouldn’t be the truth. The truth was, I was avoiding something much deeper than a medical appointment.

For years, my relationship with my breasts, body, and self-image was tangled in a web of past wounds and unconscious fears. My first job at the age of 17 was at a breast imaging center, where I spent years working with women facing the raw uncertainty of mammograms, biopsies, and breast cancer diagnoses.

Later, I made a deeply personal decision to get breast implants—a choice driven by adolescent insecurity and a longing for perfection. At the time, I told myself it was purely aesthetic, something I had wanted since I was a self-conscious middle schooler. But looking back, I realize it was something more: an unconscious attempt to rewrite a painful narrative about my body.

So when it came time for my first mammogram, something inside me resisted. What if this was another chapter in my unresolved story?

The Energetic Imprint of Trauma & Past Lives

It wasn’t just this lifetime that had shaped my fears. Through deep spiritual and somatic work, I uncovered an unexpected piece of my story: a past life regression session revealed that in another lifetime, I had suffered and died from breast cancer and I had carried the emotional and physical imprints of that experience into this lifetime, shaping my beliefs, choices, and fears around breast health.

This revelation wasn’t just surprising—it was liberating. Because it explained so much:

  • Why I had been drawn to a career in breast imaging
  • Why I had fixated on my breasts as an area of insecurity
  • Why I feared my mammogram, not because of what the doctors might find, but because of what it might confirm within me

Trauma—whether from this life or another—lives in our body until we are ready to acknowledge, process, and release it.

How My Home Held the Energy of My Fears

I have spent years teaching about how our homes mirror our inner world—and yet, I had overlooked a critical piece in my own space. In home energy work, the relationship area (or love corner) of a home is tied to the heart chakra, which governs love, emotional security, and self-worth. This is also the area energetically connected to breast health.

Simple yet powerful questions to ask:

What is happening in your love and relationship corner?

Is it cluttered, neglected, or weighed down by stagnant energy?

Are you nurturing yourself, or pouring all of your energy into others?

Is your home supporting your healing, or is it unknowingly reinforcing patterns of depletion?

I had to turn my attention toward this space in my own home and tend to it with the same care I was learning to give my body.

Reclaiming Power in a Sick Care System

I also had to confront something else: my deep distrust of our medical system. You might be hearing a new phrase circulating mainstream media, that we are livingI in a "sick care system", not a healthcare system—one that prioritizes reaction over prevention and fear over empowerment. This system thrives on keeping people dependent, disconnected, and disempowered. And although I had this awareness, I had still bought into a false binary:

  • Ignore my breast health and hope I could spiritually bypass illness, and/or
  • Give in to a system that I felt was broken and fear-driven.

But there was another option: to take ownership of my body, my health, and my choices in a way that felt deeply aligned with my inner knowing that I was safe, healthy, and whole.

I made the decision that I was going to walk into my mammogram with power, not fear. The morning of my appointment, I chose rituals over anxiety:

  • I cleared and aligned my relationship corner, inviting in supportive energy.
  • I practiced somatic healing, using breathwork and affirmations to reconnect with my body.
  • I set an intention for a calm, easeful experience—one that would rewrite the narrative of fear.

The result? A painless, stress-free mammogram. Clear, negative results. A renewed sense of trust in my body's wisdom.

I share this story because I know I’m not alone. Many of us carry unspoken fears, inherited traumas, and unconscious beliefs that shape how we experience health, home, and healing. The beauty of mind-body-home alignment is that when we shift one area, we shift them all.

If this resonates, I invite you to explore yourself and home deeper. And if you’d like my support and guidance, check out my offerings here. Your body, mind, and home are always working together. What messages are they sending you?
