In this video, Jan Rothney shares how she recovered from ME/CFS after being bedridden, relapsing, and being told by specialists that recovery was impossible. She explains how chronic symptoms can become stuck in brain-body loops, why safety, self-agency, emotional work, and supportive community matter, and how tiny “green shoots” can help rebuild confidence in recovery.

Wired for Wonder™ is designed for people who are naturally highly responsive, deeply feeling, creatively driven or identify with ADHD, neurodivergence or high sensitivity; Wired for Wonder™ helps you work with your nervous system rather than against it.

Instead of trying to become “normal,” you’ll discover how to harness your natural way of being so it becomes a source of energy, creativity and fulfilment rather than exhaustion.'
