In today's episode I am talking to Chelsea Connors, a certified life coach and former psychotherapist whose work focuses on supporting clients in working through self-doubt, anxiety and feeling stuck. She is passionate about helping people find their path back to themselves and equipping them with the skills and mechanisms for a more consistent baseline for supporting their mental health. During our conversation, Chelsea shares the realities of chronic illness and stress. She speaks on why our desire for control conflicts with our own feelings of overwhelm, what workability actually means when it comes to stress and therapy, and how traumatic experiences imprint on our bodies. In this episode, we cover:
- The relationship between chronic illness, mental health and stress
- Workability: Why acceptance and grieving matters
- Dealing with IBS, past traumas and feelings of shame
- Creating and holding space for yourself
- Embrace the vulnerability rather than resist it
- Relying on your support network is part of the healing process
