You’re Not Broken—You’re Stuck in a Loop: Limbic Retraining + Neuroplasticity for Chronic Illness


Listen Later

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today, I’m exploring a truth that’s changed everything for me and my clients: we are not broken machines; we are adaptive, conscious beings in dynamic systems of repair.

After years of sitting with people navigating complex chronic illness, I’ve realized that our biology is not just chemical, it’s also energetic and informational. Our nervous systems are constantly scanning for safety, and when symptoms arise, they often become the story our brains use to make sense of chaos: “It’s my mold,” “It’s my MTHFR gene,” “It’s my hormones.” These narratives can help us, but they can also trap us.

The healing work lies in the yes, and… validating the diagnosis, while remembering we have levers of influence: breath, movement, light, connection, thought, and time in nature. Pattern interrupts, tiny shifts in our inner dialogue and sensory experience, can retrain our physiology, lower inflammation, and awaken resilience. Healing, ultimately, is the art of creating new internal conditions where health can return naturally.

This episode is a reminder that you are not a malfunctioning machine, you are a masterpiece in process.
