Tania Sloan - Living Sacred

26/06/2025

This year marks 5 years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

In 2019, my world shifted in a way I never expected. That journey taught me just how important it is to have the right support. Not just medical, but emotional, physical, and psychological care. Now, five years on, I’m honoured to be working with Cancer Wellness Support, an organisation that provides exactly that care and compassion for people living with cancer, as well as their carers and families.

This July, I’m participating in the Dry July Foundation campaign to raise funds that directly help the people we walk alongside every day.

I’ve set a goal of $1000, which will provide around 29 therapies for people navigating one of the hardest chapters of their lives.

Why do I do Dry July?

Because the Dry July Foundation supports organisations like ours, ones that are there during the journey, not just in the lab. Yes, research is vital. But people living with cancer today need to be seen, heard, and held. That’s what we do, thanks to the generosity of supporters like you.

Every 3 minutes, someone in Australia is diagnosed with cancer. Over 1 million people are currently living with it. The impact ripples far beyond the diagnosis — to families, carers, friends. Often, very little is offered to support those who are holding it all together behind the scenes.

If you can find it in your heart to give, no matter the amount, you’ll be making a real difference in someone’s life including mine (lymphoedema management). Your support helps us offer comfort, strength, and hope when it’s needed most.

Thank you so much for reading and for standing beside us.

With blessings and profound gratitude,

I have signed up for Dry July to raise money for people affected by cancer. Please show your support and make a donation.

I love this explanation about spiritual bypassing. Bringing attention to love. Elevating love.

Are you familiar with the “Let Them” theory? I’ll tell you friends the more I grow the more I am okay with accepting the “Let Them” in my own life and relationships.

This is something that took me a very long time to learn. I used to tolerate a lot because I didn't want to lose people. But I learned the hard way if they were really my people, they would never treat me like that. Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you're being repeatedly disrespected.

Let them be upset.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you,
Let them ignore you.
Let them be "right."
Let them doubt you.
Let them not like you.
Let them not speak to you.
Let them run your name in the ground.
Let them make you out to be the villain.
Whatever it is that people want to say about you, let them!

Kindly step aside and LET THEM.

The hard truth is they know how much they are hurting you. And they just simply don't care. They did it knowing it could cause them to lose you. And they did it anyway. People that love you care about how they make you feel. The end. Let them go.

There will be people that would rather lose you than be honest about what they've done to you. Let them go.

The lack of respect was the closure. The lack of apology was the closure. The lack of care was the closure. The lack of accountability was the closure. The lack of honestly was the closure. Let them go.

Make the decision to no longer sit at tables where you might be the topic when you get up. Let them go.

You can still be kind. You can even still love them deeply. But do it from the distance they created in their words and actions. Access to you is a privilege they have proven they can’t be trusted with. Let them go.

You don’t need to tell your side of the story. God already knows. Let God fight the battle for you. Let them go.

It’s taken me a long time to get here. Sleepless nights, countless tears, managing a range of emotions filled with anger, disappointment, confusion and deep hurt. Lots of self-reflection, self-preservation, deep prayer and seeking wisdom from those much wiser than me.

If you are struggling with this, please know you are not alone. We will never understand why hurt people hurt people. But we can do the hard work to grow ourselves. Because healed people do in fact heal people.

Don’t you dare let them steal your joy.
Don’t you dare let them steal your light.
Don’t you dare let them steal your peace.
You are in control of that.

Hold tight to what you can control and release your grip on what you can’t control.
Let them go.
