Self-care truly lies at the core of finding our Tribe. In turn, our Tribe can be an integral part of our healing journeys. In this episode, Brenda and Michelle interview guest-expert Cindy Costley about her journey of healing and discovering that childhood trauma was at the root of her allergic reactions. Once called "the girl who is allergic to the world", Cindy shares how she learned to heal using a balanced approach of traditional western medicine, wholistic eastern modalities and ayurvedic medicine. She shares how her Tribes have helped her become whole again. About Cindy Costley: Cindy Costley is a trauma survivor, award-winning author, speaker, and an Allergy/Mast Cell Wellness Coach. With a degree in dietetics, she has been helping her clients make powerful life changes for over 20 years. Cindy's clients come to her because they feel as if their allergic reactions are consuming their lives and have not had success healing the underlying reasons behind their reactions. She is grateful every day that she gets to empower individuals to take control of their lives and heal physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically.
