Feeling like your body is staging a mutiny? Join the club!
I've been dealing with autoimmune issues for over a decade.
The majority of my clients also have autoimmune and chronic health issues, from chronic fatigue, celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, to arthritis… the list goes on. I don't think that's a coincidence!
It's not just the physical toll that illness takes on you, but also the mental battle. I grappled often with the impact my health had on my parenting.
While I'm sharing a lot of my struggles today, it's not a whine-fest. I'm also sharing insights on how I see the relationship between autoimmune issues, inflammation, and ADHD. Plus, I'm dishing what has helped me lower my stress levels and take care of myself so that I could take care of my family as best I could, even when all I had were scraps.
Self-care isn't selfish; it's a lifeline for the whole family.
Although I can't heal you with my words, I hope to provide an empathetic space and support, shedding light on the intricate dance of health, stress, and parenting with chronic illness.
You're not alone, Successful Mama.
