From Surviving to Thriving: escaping death, overcoming chronic illness, and finding true wellness

In this first episode of Life Uplifted, we’re getting vulnerable right off the bat. I’m sharing my story of living with constant pain as a child, escaping death at 20 years old, and overcoming debilitating chronic illness by healing my body to live a life of true wellness.

Key points in this episode:

• Why listening to your symptoms is key
• An autoimmune diagnosis doesn’t equal lifelong illness
• The importance of healing all aspects of yourself: body, mind, and soul

Quote of the episode:

“Healing is a journey. There is no quick fix for a chronic illness. I eat healthy because if I don’t, my life would be drastically different. And that’s not negotiable for me. I know what it’s like to be paralyzed by poor health. I refuse to let that be my reality ever again. But it doesn’t mean that I feel like a freaking rockstar everyday. I have determination no matter what and that is the difference between letting your illness take you down or you taking your illness down.”
