In this episode we have Kimberly Harter. Kimberly's health first became a problem in her life when she suffered an anaphylactic shock in 2006, which she later found out was due to Lyme, which she was later diagnosed with. This set off a worsening of many symptoms for Kimberley, leaving her in extreme pain, bed-ridden, with extreme sensitivities and a very limited diet. 

What followed were many ups and downs in her recovery journey, and it was through a whole host of techniques surrounding mindset, including brain retraining, breathwork techniques, cold therapy etc that she finally started seeng improvements, leading her to make huge changes in her life, including become a white water raft instructor and starting her own business. 

In this episode, Kimberly shares many insights she has had over the course of her recovery journey, and we discuss the importance of finding joy and play in your recovery, how powerful change can be and the importance of not becoming identified with being "sick."
