How I Faced My Greatest Fears and Overcame Breast Cancer!In this video, I'm sharing my story of how I Faced My Greatest Fears and Overcame Cancer! When cancer took over my career and ejected me out of the peak with this life changing diagnosis of stage 3 breast cancer, I'll be talking about the fear of the unknown, the fear of missing out, and the fear of other people's opinions.By sharing my story, I hope to help others who are facing similar fears. I hope that my story will show you that it is possible to overcome any obstacle, and that you can achieve your true success no matter how difficult the journey may seem.

On this World Cancer Day 4 Feb, I would like to take this opportunity to remind all of us that we can take steps for prevention, detection and treatment of cancer. We can #closethegap “After her chemotherapy treatments concluded, Julianne was determined to turn her life around. Though she lost her physique, muscle, strength and all her confidence, she was determined to reduce the chances of any cancer recurrence” (with transforming herself and her lifestyle)- THE PEAK magazine (screen shots)Thank u for the feature @thepeaksg ! No one wants to be a VIP member of this club. Q: So what we can do is to help ourselves in prevention? A: Through medical and fitness professionals, I have learned unwittingly-that by having a healthy lifestyle (7-8 hours of sleep, 3L of water, balanced nutrition, daily exercise, less stress), is the best and most natural way for prevention (and a recurrence of cancer). Q: How can we detect cancer earlier? A: Get our own health data by #ScreenForLife. The most basic- blood test. Schedule imaging for all the major parts of our bodies, organs, heart ultrasound & ECG, endoscopy, bone density, eyes, nose, throat, etc. But if we do get diagnosed with cancer, we are never alone. No matter the stage of diagnosis, there is HOPE with cancer treatment plans. Thankfully, with medical advancements , the survival rate for all types of cancers have increased. As an ex-Private Banker, I would advocate insurance to every single person I meet- in order to have access to the drugs and health care we need, remember to upgrade your hospital plan to “A” (the best). For Singaporeans, this would be in your insurance company’s SHIELD plan (not the same as medishield). Together, we can reimagine a world where millions of preventable cancer deaths are saved and access to life-saving cancer treatment and care is equitable for all - no matter who you are or where you live.  #changewithjuliannedanielle #ultimateperforancesg #fitnessjourney #sgwellness #empoweringwomen #cancer #breastcancer #proud2bcatholic #celebratingsgwomen #SGwomen #inspiringstories #love #fitfam #lifestyle #gym #fitnessmotivation #lululemon #strongboldgrateful #changeyourlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CoPxF27yJSt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello there! As most would know, my nick is Juicy (ikr). And this beauty beside me, is Kelly, who is also known as Sunshine. When life threw us rotten lemons individually, we decided to have fun in the sunshine and make lemonade with all the blardy sour lemon juices. Heck yeah! Together with God our father, we moved forward! #SweatyintheJuicySunshine became a theme for us when we both decided we wanted to make life changing positive decisions to improve our then-lifestyles transforming it into a healthy lifestyle. Although I am generally a fan of solo workouts, having a goal to work toward in tandem with @redmap30 has been a fun, and not to mention a butt-kicking experience of a lifetime. The takeway: Exercise makes you a happier person individually. All thanks to endorphins! With exercise, we too can power through any discouragement that may pop up. And because of committing on the journey together, we got to experience everything together- pushing and moving each other, whining and struggling with the challenges, then experiencing results, really brings happiness! To many more #SweatyintheJuicySunshine nutty-fitspo workouts and fitness-fantastic holidays!

“You are diagnosed with stage 3, breast cancer (Triple Negative)”. Almost immediately, nothing else registered except that I felt my feet firmly on the ground. “I felt engulfed in a sense of calm- am I in denial??” 10 months later and still receiving on-going treatments, I claim and testify that it was the spirit of God who lifted me up and wrapped me in immediate comfort and that is why I was engulfed. Formed by listening and all the faith formations that made me feel my feet firmly on the ground of the word of God. It was love in the room that very day through my Surgeon, nurse and family who cared deeply for me. The Holy Spirit moved powerfully amongst all of us, , and without doubt, filled us with his comforting love that everything is going to be okay. YES, there is LOVE through my doctor’s kind words, there is Jesus HOPE in being highlighted of the urgency in the matter, there is PEACE there are next steps required. Jesus is the LIGHT and he shows us how. “Deal with what you have, NOT what you PERCEIEVE it to be”. My parish priest's profound words of holy wisdom has pivoted me to focus on speaking life to myself”. “How do I give life to myself?” the wise man says ,"tell the what-ifs” to STOP. STOP. Just STOP.” And since that day, I have been doing so every day and many times through the day, to STOP. Just STOP. Crawling up at 5am is because LIGHT breaks the darkness every single day. Without fail. The wondrous day made by our Lord; is a brand new day to rejoice, to be glad. I am grateful for all the healing he has done for me, now in me, and how he WILL continue to heal me. His spirit enfolds and His love fills my heart. All I need to do on my part is to TRUST and #GetOutThereToFeelGood. Today, I celebrate this Easter Sunday 2021- I participate in His resurrection and renew my baptismal vows. My heart is completely transformed by him, my mind renewed in all these adventures with him since the diagnosis and I cling on to God our father and proclaim he truly exists in my life. Jesus has truly resurrected me out from my rotting tomb and He has RAISED ME TO LIFE with JESUS’ HOPE! #BCFSG #thewickedlightsg #vivreactivewear #hpbsg #sgcancersociety https://www.instagram.com/p/CNPcwlkHztR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have never felt more beautiful with hair for the last 38 years, than I feel today, with no hair and all BOTAK! For everyone who knows me... I spend 3 hours every single day for the last 2 decades dolling up and washing down. I LOVE MY HAIR, EYELASHES AND MAKE UP very very much!!! But being diagnosed with breast cancer has stripped me bare of EVERY SINGLE HAIR on my head, every precious eyelash on my eyelids, and everywhere else!! Not only that, acne hit me from nowhere and crushed me to the ground in the peak of chemotherapy and left me reeling from a bad complexion. This triggered many confusing emotions and left me sobbing at my dining table on many days. Even the lean figure I worked so hard at through a strict daily discipline of clean eating and religious 5am exercises... they were all impossible to keep up as I struggled to survive every day. Because of the side effects, I ended up eating 6 FULL meals a day and terrorizing my closest love ones with food requests from all over the island at odd hours. As I was “losing” myself, I felt I was also losing my mind. I LOST everything I hold dearly of what I envision as beauty. But NO!!! Cancer will be beaten by the Grace from God and Jesus is with me. He brings me so many of you angels to me- it is because of you who have reached out to me in many different ways, that I got up when I fell. Your caring text messages, your hand made gifts, your loving smiles in video calls, your heartfelt prayers, your sincere effort to invite others to reach out with kudo boards and thoughtful gifts. The personal trips you have made to meet me amidst your busy schedule and asking others to pray for me. Despite knowing there could be no answer, you still reached out with your love. You have made me realize that we can “lose” ourselves from time to time, but one thing is for sure- we will NEVER EVER lose the beauty in our hearts. I am personally touched by the beauty of the LOVE in your heart and this is why I feel so beautiful, no matter how I look. In this, I have “lost” so much, at the same time, I have “gained” even more than I can ever imagine. So thank YOU!

Being fit and mentally strong is essential in overcoming fears and physical challenges. One step at a time, not worry, keep calm, have fun and spur each other on is the way to finish the race! #sgfitness (at Forest Adventure) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFWumpDHQwE/?igshid=e9r7xgv55ioj

It has been a privilege getting into the thick of action and rubbing shoulders with CNA and getting to know other politicians because of my cousin who ran as a candidate in this GE 2020. Though they lost marginally in the total number of votes, it is extremely admirable with insights from behind the scenes, i had understood how a shared goal can be achieved with good strategic planning, lots of coordination across teams and commitment from the hundreds of volunteers. Big hugs for the great work, cous! https://www.instagram.com/p/CCgPDWvH_hi/?igshid=g2jv4n1zusti

Grateful for all the blessings!

It wasn’t just for kicks that the shoe cupboard was organized, nor was it for the Chinese New Year. It’s simply because the shoes were falling out of the cupboard! #sneakerlove #shoestagram #nikeshoes #nikeaddict #empowered #beemped

Getting over the west coast holiday with another holiday!! (at 吾穀茶糧Siidcha九份食茶館)

Seeing one of the 7 wonders in the world, Grand Canyon, and all must see of it through Adrenaline.com was such a time saver- It was 70 minutes of flight time and a limo pick up to and fro. We even had champagne after that! All in, 3 hours! Highly recommend it if you are on a short trip. Choose the Grand Canyon floor landing and champagne one if you have a chance. #grandcanyonhelicoptertour #grandcanyon #grandcanyonwestrim #lasvegasmustdo #lasvegasmustsee #juicyielle (at Las Vegas Helicopters Heliport)
