Episode Summary:
This week, I have a special guest, Meg Collins, who just finished six months in our SHE Thrives Group program! Meg has an inspiring story that many of us can relate to, especially if you’ve been struggling with health issues for years. This episode is all about showcasing the possibilities of holistic health transformations and providing hope to those in similar situations.
We start with Meg opening up about her long-term struggle with PCOS and her more recent diagnosis of Hashimoto’s. Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, Meg reached out for professional help, driven by a sense of burnout and despair around her diagnoses.
We explore the emotional and physical tolls Meg experienced due to her health conditions, including the anger and frustration she felt when comparing herself to others who could live life more freely without these struggles. One of the turning points for Meg was learning how to regulate her nervous system and adopting new mindset tools.
Meg emphasizes the difference that focusing on nourishment and having a supportive community has made in her life. Tools such as mindset work and nervous system regulation have not only improved her physical symptoms but also equipped her to better handle stress and find fun in life once more.
If you’re a long-time listener, but haven’t taken action yet to go on your own healing journey, I hope Meg’s story shows you the true power of holistic healing and the incredible changes that can happen when you commit to understanding and caring for your body.
