How Terminal Cancer Showed Beth Fairchild That She Was Enough

At age 34, Beth Fairchild was told she only had 2 years to live. Through this diagnosis, she realized that her conventional beauty had never defined her. Letting go of identifying with being 5’10, with blonde hair and double D breasts, made her realize that she was always enough and had always been. Now, 6 years later, Beth is still confronted with her terminal diagnosis everyday but has found a strength and gratitude she never knew she had. In this time, Beth met her soulmate at a fundraising event for cancer and has become a leading voice for women with Metastatic Breast Cancer. “I have no control over my cancer, no control over what it’s gonna do to my body. But what I do have control over is how I live my life and what I do right now in this moment.” - Beth Fairchild in the latest episode of What’s Underneath.
