  • Loving Yourself Through the Highs and Lows

    Self-love isn’t just about bubble baths and feel-good moments—it’s about showing up for yourself even when life gets hard. In this episode of Getting Through Today, I’m sharing what it really means to love yourself through the ups and downs.

    This past week, I faced both pain and progress—a painful arthritis shot in my thumb and a huge win in getting back to running 2.5 miles. It reminded me that healing isn’t about going back to who we used to be; it’s about becoming who we’re meant to be.

    If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated with your body, or struggling to show yourself kindness, this episode is for you. You are not broken—you are becoming.

  • The Role of Connection in Healing Chronic Illness

    Healing isn’t meant to happen in isolation. Yet, when we’re struggling with chronic illness, it’s so easy to retreat—telling ourselves we don’t want to be a burden, that no one will understand, or that we have to be strong on our own. But the truth? Connection is medicine.

    In this episode, we dive deep into the power of human connection in the healing process—how relationships, community, and emotional support can regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and promote resilience.

    If you’ve ever felt alone in your chronic illness, this episode is for you. Let’s break through the walls of isolation and step into a space of healing, love, and support. Because you were never meant to do this alone.
