I remember watching Charlie’s journey.
She was a high-performing mental health nurse, a mum, a wife — the kind of person who always gave 110%. 

Then one day, her body just quit. 

She couldn’t climb the stairs.
She lost her job.
Her husband had to help her get into bed. 

She felt she’d lost everything that defined her. 

Imagine that fear: Your mind is willing, but your physical body simply says NO.

No matter how hard you try to push, it only leads to more crashes, guilt, and fear. 

Charlie realised she was stuck in that vicious cycle — doing her best but without a clear map for M.E./CFS recovery. 

In this episode, she opens up about the four healing pillars that finally gave her direction, stability, and hope again. 

Today, she’s thriving — coaching others and living a calm, full life she once thought she’d lost forever. 

It’s one of the most inspiring transformations I’ve seen.

What would you do if your body suddenly stopped working? 

For Julie, it happened almost overnight.
She went from running her life, career, and home…
to sleeping up to 18 hours a day — unable to move, dizzy, and terrified. 

Every test came back normal.
Doctors shrugged their shoulders.
No one could tell her why her body had completely shut down. 

This episode is raw, real, and incredibly powerful.

Julie shares what it’s like to lose everything and what she discovered on the road back to health. 

Today, she’s traveling again, coaching others, and living the life she once thought she’d lost forever. 

If you’ve ever felt hopeless or dismissed by doctors, this story will hit home.

There comes a point in every recovery story where the body just says enough. 

For Ahil, that moment came suddenly - fainting spells, intense pain, nights without sleep. 

One day, he woke up and realized he couldn’t keep living like this. 

He wasn’t lazy. He wasn’t weak.
He was completely burnt out - body, mind, and soul. 

And that’s when everything started to change. 

Five years later, the same man who once couldn’t stand for more than a few minutes now travels the world, hikes for hours, and coaches others through their recovery. 

But what happened in between those two versions of him is the real story - the part that changed his life.

Meet Lauren. 

A few years ago, she was working 60-hour weeks - constantly on the go, trying to hold everything together. 

She thought the fatigue was just stress… until one day, her body completely shut down. 

She couldn’t make her bed.
She couldn’t cook.
Even a short trip to the store left her in pain for days. 

Doctor after doctor gave her no answers. 

That’s when Lauren realized something had to change but she had no idea how. 

Fast forward to today… she’s sitting on a beach in Australia, hiking, travelling, and helping others do the same. 

How did she go from corporate burnout to complete recovery from chronic fatigue? 

That’s what this week’s CFS Health Recovery Podcast is all about. 

Lauren opens up about the real turning points, the breakdowns, and the moments that changed everything.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to recover, you need to hear Sue’s story. 

She lived with ME/CFS for nearly 27 years. 

There were days she couldn’t walk, couldn’t speak above a whisper, and had to be fed by her husband. 

The fatigue was so heavy she once said it felt like “walking through deep mud with a wet blanket over my body.” 

After decades of trying everything and getting nowhere, she found herself back at rock bottom—bedbound again, with no clear answers. 

That’s when she discovered a new way forward. 

A plan built on baseline, consistency over intensity, and letting go of the pressure to push. 

The results changed everything.
From 30-second walks to hiking mountains.
From wheelchair to long-haul flights.
From hopelessness to coaching others through recovery. 

Today, Sue’s life looks nothing like it did for those 27 years because she stopped fighting her body and started rebuilding with it. 
 

This one’s powerful. Especially if you’ve been stuck for a long time.

When Steph was just 16, she went from playing two games of netball a day… to not being able to walk to the bathroom on her own. 

Doctors told her it was “all in her head.”
Friends drifted away.
And hope started to fade. 

But Steph refused to give up. 

Week by week, little by little, she rebuilt her life. 

From being bedbound and unable to feed herself… to running half-marathons, finishing her PhD, and now working as an exercise physiologist helping others recover. 

It’s one of the most inspiring full-circle recoveries I’ve ever seen — and one that will remind you that no matter how bad things feel right now, there’s always a way forward.

If you’ve ever felt like your life is on hold because of M.E./CFS, you need to read Lauren's story. 

Just five years ago, she was facing the worst kind of storm: a 60-hour work week, burnout, and a pending divorce. She felt horrible and was struggling in bed every single day. 

Lauren realized she had a choice: Keep the old life that got her sick, or choose herself fully right now. 

The first step was one of the hardest and most courageous decisions she made: She chose to fully prioritize her health. 

This meant leaving the high-stress job and leaving a relationship that wasn't serving her. It was gut-wrenching, but Lauren knew she had to put herself first to save her life. 

Today, her life is unrecognizable. She's fully recovered, traveling internationally, and coaching others to do the same. 

She credits this incredible change to just 3 key things—the simple, non-obvious rules she lived by.

Have you ever wondered why even a simple chat with friends can leave you completely exhausted?
I used to think it was just me. 

What I later learned is that chronic fatigue syndrome isn’t just about one kind of tiredness, there are different types of fatigue that affect us in different ways. 

In this week’s podcast, I explain each type and share practical ways to manage them, so you can feel more consistent and supported in your recovery.  

And at the end, I’ve included a free training that has already helped thousands of people start regaining their health and living again. 

You don’t have to figure this out alone — and recovery really is possible.

When you’re living with CFS, it can feel exhausting trying to get others to fully understand. 

The truth is, they may never completely “get it”and that’s okay. 

In this new episode, I share a simple shift in how to respond, set boundaries, and find a way that feels lighter for you, without overexplaining or feeling guilty. Ready to feel lighter in your conversations?  

This isn’t about convincing anyone it’s about focusing on your own recovery.

One of the hardest parts of chronic fatigue syndrome isn’t just the symptoms - it’s when people around you don’t really understand what you’re going through. 

In this week’s episode, I share why that happens, and a few gentle ways to handle those moments so you can feel more supported and less pressured to explain yourself. 

I’d love to hear from you after watching — what’s the hardest part for you when people don’t “get it”?
