Long Covid Podcast

193 - You are the Pilot, Not the Passenger - Reclaim Agency on your Recovery Journey


Listen Later

In this gentle solo episode, I invite you to explore a powerful reframe: what if your recovery journey isn’t something happening to you, but something you’re quietly guiding? Through metaphors, practical support & ideas, and  reflections, I explore how to reclaim agency in healing — even when the skies feel foggy.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Shift from passive to intentional with micro-agency and sensory grounding
  • Reframe inner narratives with soft, empowering language
  • Use breath and boundaries as navigation tools
  • Gently return to your pilot seat when setbacks arise

Whether you’re navigating Long Covid, ME/CFS, or simply seeking a more compassionate way to relate to your body, this episode offers hope, validation, and a reminder: you are not alone in the cockpit.
