Midlife, Cancer, Infidelity and Surviving it All with CJ Grace

Midlife can be challenging, but what happens when life decides to hit us with a really heavy blow or two? For instance, infidelity? And if that isn’t bad enough, toss in dose of breast cancer, too. That’s shaping up to be the perfect s**tstorm, right? Well that’s what my next guest had to ensure.

C.J. Grace not only rose to the challenge of a cheating husband, but she battled breast cancer head on and is thriving. C.J. is the author of “Adulterer’s Wife: How to Thrive Whether You Stay or Not.” After her breast cancer diagnoses, she refusing to be a victim and has not only learned to embrace herself but she has maintained her wicked sense of humor. Now divorced, C. J. insists that the obstacles she’s faced have enabled her to make midlife better than her younger days. She’s currently working on completing her new book, “Hotel Chemo: My Wild Ride through Breast Cancer and Infidelity.”

C.J.’s mantra from her book is:

“The best revenge is to get past the need for it.”
