The Chronic Comeback

The Slow Path to Healing: How Sophie Overcame Chronic Fatigue, Found Balance, and Rebuilt Her Life


Listen Later

When Sophie Reynolds first fell ill, she thought it was just a virus. But what was supposed to be a short-term setback turned into a years-long battle with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). With no clear answers from doctors and no quick fix, she found herself navigating an overwhelming world of uncertainty, frustration, and isolation.

In this episode, Sophie shares her five-year journey of learning to manage and recover from chronic illness. She reflects on how her high-stress, high-achieving lifestyle as a prison officer and master’s student may have contributed to her health collapse. She opens up about the emotional toll of chronic illness, the challenges of navigating the traditional healthcare system, and how she eventually found her own path to healing.

She talks about the turning points in her recovery, from discovering the power of slow, mindful movement through Pilates to shifting her mindset around productivity and success. She also shares how changing her environment, working on nervous system regulation, and building a more balanced life played a crucial role in her improvement.
