We're back! And in this episode, I welcome back Vanessa Azelis, also known as The Grateful Guide, for another conversation about her journey with chronic illness and grief.

Vanessa shares her story of contracting a rare parasite in 2009 and the ensuing struggle with multiple chronic conditions including chronic fatigue syndrome and POTS syndrome. She discusses the pivotal moment of finding hope through brain retraining and her intensive healing journey. Vanessa also opens up about enduring another perfect storm in 2021, when she lost her father and battled long COVID. She emphasises the importance of integrating grief and self-compassion in the healing process. Vanessa shares practical advice on balancing increasing activity while maintaining a regulated nervous system and addressing the physical aspects of chronic illness.
