What happens when you stop trying to “fix” your body — and start listening to it instead?

In this powerful minisode, Karen Dwyer reflects on her moving conversation with Sarah Griffiths (@wheelie.momma), a mother of four, speaker, author, and member of the MS to Success team. After years of fighting chronic pain and internalised pressure, Sarah made one decision that changed everything: she stopped resisting and started working with her body.

Karen shares her top takeaways from their conversation, from the emotional weight of mobility aids to the freedom of asking for help. This episode is packed with real-life insight, gentle challenges, and empowering reframes for anyone living with chronic illness, burnout, or fatigue.

This is your reminder that healing might not look how you expected — and that’s exactly what makes it real. 🌿
