I’ve had gastroparesis for 22 years, and living with this condition used to feel really, really hard. Now… it doesn’t. On today’s episode of The Living Well Pod, Samantha and I unpack the paradoxical realization behind that shift: it’s okay if it feels hard.
In this episode, we discuss:
why things feeling harder doesn’t mean your tools have stopped working, your situation is getting worse, or this is your new reality.
how curiosity can help us stop “scrambling” for answers (which often makes things feel even harder!).
why none of this is a personal failing or weakness.
how this perspective completely changed my experience of gastroparesis, and how it’s currently showing up around health anxiety.
If you relate to feeling like you’re wrapped in a “cocoon of hard,” this episode is for you. 💖
