MY HEALTH JOURNEY
You just never know when life is going to throw you a curve ball. My health crisis hit, out of the blue. I was at the peak of health, feeling really good about myself.
I’d left a long term relationship and I was enjoying the freedom, settling into the new rhythms, looking forward to things. I was eating well, exercising, doing yoga, rollerblading…. I felt really fucking good.
Everyone Has A Story
Below you’ll find a few interviews where I share my health journey.
As a private person it wasn’t easy to be vulnerable and open up about that part of my life.
Nobody ever believes I’m an introvert or a bit shy, but there it is… you can’t read a book by it’s cover. I was feeling very powerless and hopeless during my illness and those are the heaviest, darkest emotions to deal with. I knew that someone listening to my story may get some hope and feel encouraged to keep on going and figure things out.
All experiences have an impact, shape the person we were (past-self), the person we are (present-self), and the person we will be (future-self).Ultimately we can look at the situation and decide how we want it to affect us in the long term.
We get to choose if we’ll be disempowered or empowered.
Of course, depending on the level of wounding and trauma it could be necessary to seek professional help. There are many options now to get help and find a councilor, therapist or trauma coach who has the expertise to help you work through the thoughts, emotions and physically modalities that are expressed because of trauma.
As a person who always wanted to be strong I didn’t even realize how much I was holding in unrepressed emotion. But as I worked with many wonderful coaches, alternative practitioners and healers they helped uncover, unwind and let go of it so I could move on. Today I like to look forward not backward. I rarely think about the pain and the suffering or how much I missed out on during those years. Instead I see the benefits that came out of that situation.
