Have you ever found that life’s greatest lessons often come when we least expect them? Join me on a journey of introspection and creativity as I uncover the hidden gifts of spontaneity and presence, especially in the face of challenges like long COVID. The delicate balance between meticulous planning and letting life unfold naturally, insights into how this approach can alleviate stress and enhance well-being. 

My recent virtual art room event serves as a testament to the healing power of creative expression, inviting you to explore self-care through artistic activities. As I reflect on what I would tell my past self, I uncover the profound journey of self-awareness and healing that life beyond long COVID can offer, filled with ups, downs, and moments of joy.

I share my own musings stemming from a journal prompt this week, in a way which hopefully helps people to see life beyond illness, the continual journey of healing and that it's ok to be imperfect.

This episode is a gentle reminder to find joy in the present moment, nurture your authentic self, and celebrate the holiday season with well-deserved happiness and freedom.
