Through her experience, Casalan has learned valuable lessons about the importance of listening to your body, having faith in medicine, being vulnerable as a leader, and the power of a strong support system. She continues to prioritize her health and well-being, while also advocating for women’s health and work-life balance. “I want to show other women that it’s possible to be successful in both your career and as a mom, but you have to take care of yourself first,” she says.
As she moves forward in her recovery journey, Casalan remains grateful for the second chance at life she has been given. She hopes to inspire others to prioritize their health and well-being, and to always listen to their bodies. “You never know when life can throw you a curveball, so it’s important to be prepared and take care of yourself,” she concludes.
