Welcome back into THE PICKLE JAR. The PICKLE JAR is all about connecting and empowering people living with ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY. This episode will give you HOPE, INSPIRATION and EMPOWER you to take steps forward in your illness.

My dear friend LISA allows me to share with you an update on her journey with Addison's Disease. Last winter Lisa felt hopeless and depressed about living with ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY. A common and REAL EXPERIENCE for all of us.

Lisa took a step forward. The first step she mentioned was connecting with me, your PICKLE HOST. She felt less alone and the podcast made her feel like there were "PEOPLE LIKE ME".

It gave her hope. It lit a little fire inside and she started to let it burn. She changed her expectations for exercise and with consistency started to build back her strength. Her fire burned stronger.

She started with a wellness coach who focused on PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION. She started listening to the NICOLE SACHS podcast and started journalling and meditating. Learning to control the triggers in her life and manage her levels of stress. Lisa SHOUTS FROM THE ROOF TOP...this has changed her life with Addison's Disease.

She is having the best summer, feels alive, feels LIGHTER AND BRIGHTER, has no joint pain, is no longer nauseous, and has fewer bad days. She now no longer views her BAD DAYS as doom and failure.

She is listening to herself and loving herself unconditionally. She BOOSTS stress management has been key for her.

Let Lisa give you HOPE. Let Lisa light your fire.

You can have better days. You can be LIGHTER AND BRIGHTER.
