In this solo episode, I talk about my personal journey with ulcerative colitis and what I’ve learned about autoimmune disease, emotional healing, and self-trust through the lens of Gabor Maté’s When the Body Says No.

I share openly about the connection between people-pleasing, chronic illness, and taking on responsibility for other people’s emotions, and how these patterns have shaped my health.

I also explore:

    •    Letting go of the belief that needing medication makes me a failure

    •    Practicing emotional discernment and creating healthier boundaries

    •    Listening to my intuition when it comes to diet, rest, and supplements

    •    Learning to ask for help before my body forces me to through a flare-up

This episode is an honest reflection on how true healing from autoimmune disease and chronic illness begins within — when we stop betraying ourselves and start listening to what the body is asking for.
