Blaze Hunter is an author, award winning speaker, brand specialist, and maybe most importantly, a communications expert. In this episode, Blaise discusses the connection between emotions and the body, and how it plays a role in autoimmune disease.
Blaise was diagnosed in her 20’s with EGPA, a rare autoimmune disease that affects the lungs. At the time she was working as a television broadcaster and her disease tried to take her voice - but she had none of that. Now she literally roars on stage as she turns her pain into purpose. And she’s bringing some of that passion to us.

This week I'm doing a little behind the scenes look at what I'm working on right now. My new online course, The 8 Week Mindset Challenge is starting soon, and this week I'm sharing what the challenge is all about - including negative thinking and the surprising ways it impacts us.
I'm telling a little of my personal journey when I took a deep dive into my own negative thinking after I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. And common challenges among high-achievers, who I call "Ex-hustlers," in adjusting to life with chronic illness - even years after the onset of the disease. (I put myself in that category as well.)

"It almost became a puzzle. How can we solve this? What's the next thing?" - Amanda Dahl
When Amanda Dahl and her husband started experiencing strange and debilitating symptoms, they didn’t think they were in for an 18-year journey of mystery and uncertainty. Little did they know that their son's diagnosis of autism and Lyme disease would be the catalyst to discovering the root cause of their struggles - and the unconventional combination of treatments that would eventually bring healing and wholeness to their family.
Amanda's own battle with chronic illness and Lyme disease has given her a profound understanding of the importance of addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs in the healing process. Together with her husband, Christopher, Amanda co-founded Dahl Holistic Health.

Join me as I talk about a favorite piece of advice that was given to me at a time when I was ready to give up and walk away in the middle of a challenge. Drawing from my experience in a 150 mile bike race, I reveal the simple yet transformative lesson I learned that helped me get up the next day and finish what would be one of my proudest achievements soon after my multiple sclerosis diagnosis. And I share how it can work for others in their lives as well - you don't have to be on an epic bike ride to take advantage! This approach has become my guiding light, helping me conquer doubts, break barriers, and find success in even the most daunting situations.
