Do we need to (internally) justify our natural need for rest by having a migraine 🤕 ? Is the only way to return to a natural pace for our body to get sick–in the society we are living in?

Join me, Verena in this solo episode asking (myself) some uncomfortable, possibly triggering, activating, and important questions… about my own experiences with chronic illness, stress, and the working conditions we are born into but never consciously agreed with.

In this episode I don’t give you THE answer or a five-step-plan. I share authentically and honestly what I feel, experience, observe… in my life, with my clients, and in the world 👁️. Let’s gently explore why our body sends us signals that are sometimes very painful, how and if we can answer them, and what to (not) do when our health, body, and life feels out of control.

🛌 Tune in and hear about:

• My personal experiences with chronic pain and mysterious illnesses

• Western medicine and deeper, more holistic ways of healing

• Body, mind, and why it’s not just about putting a bandage on 

• How to communicate with your body

• Why I reject to function like a machine when I am healthy (again)

This podcast episode is for you if you often feel guilty for resting AND the episode is for every-body who is familiar with chronic pain and open to ask some difficult questions with curiosity and self-compassion ❤️‍🩹.
