The Beauty in Breathing: Emotional Intelligence for the Chronically Brave


Listen Later

What if your body became both your battleground and your teacher?

In this raw and soul-stirring episode of Scary Calm, Lisa Lacy opens up about living with a rare blood disorder, surviving eight pulmonary embolisms, and navigating life with chronic illness, trauma, and mental health challenges. Through poetic storytelling and grounded emotional intelligence tools, Lisa offers not just her truth—but a lifeline for anyone walking through physical pain, fear, and uncertainty.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Use emotional intelligence to regulate fear and anxiety during chronic health flare-ups

  • Reframe pain into purpose using compassion and assertive boundaries

  • Cultivate presence and power—even when your energy is limited

This isn’t just about illness. It’s about life. It’s about facing mortality and choosing to live with intention, clarity, and grace.

If you're battling fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, autoimmune conditions, or rare diseases—or if you simply need a reminder of your own strength—this episode is your permission to slow down, breathe deep, and remember: the work doesn’t stop... it deepens.
