Sue's Story of Overcoming Chronic Illness and Long Covid
In this insightful and heartfelt episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sue, who shares her compelling journey navigating the ups and downs of Long Covid. Sue discusses how discovering the Rest, Repair, Recover (RRR) community transformed her path to healing. At her lowest point, Sue felt isolated and unsupported. She describes the frustration of seeking answers in a medical system that seemed devoid of solutions, as well as the challenge of navigating spaces that only amplified her fears. With traditional coping mechanisms like determination and pushing through no longer effective, Sue reached a turning point. The conversation shifts as Sue reflects on finding the RRR community, initially skeptical of what she perceived as a focus on yoga. However, she soon discovered a supportive community that offered so much more. Sue shares how engaging with breathwork, meditation, and the concept of finding a 'tribe' helped her feel understood and less alone in her journey. Together, we explore the power of gentle movement, the importance of listening to one’s body, and the remarkable impact of acceptance and humor in the recovery process. Sue also shares her insights into the concept of managing health and wellbeing as an ongoing commitment, rather than a finite goal. Tune in for an episode filled with wisdom, humor, and hope, as Sue describes how she reclaimed parts of her life and found joy, even amidst chronic illness. Whether you're personally affected by Long Covid or interested in the power of community and self-care, this episode offers valuable perspectives on living fully and authentically.
