June 15th: In a follow-up to the previous episode, "Hope, Healing, and Living in the Gray," Julia and Maddy talk about the emotional side of healing. Illness is traumatic, but living in survival mode often forces us to prioritize physical healing. Both of us have come to realize how important it is to our healing to address our emotional health and calm our nervous systems. Listen in for the unique ways doing this has played a part in our healing journeys.
About the Podcast
Hosts Julia and Maddy both live with late-stage Lyme disease. Their conversations focus on the challenges of living with chronic illness through multiple stages of life, including college and early career. The podcast is in partnership with Global Lyme Alliance (GLA). Julia and Maddy will highlight personal Lyme stories and experiences along with GLA initiatives, like the research we fund, and interviews with Lyme-literate doctors to provide multiple perspectives on this complex disease.
