Reframing Chronic Illness
By Alana Holloway
Reframing Chronic Illness is a podcast that flips the common narrative surrounding chronic illness on its head.
I’m your host, Alana Holloway; Chronic Illness Coach to folk who want to live life in a way that honours both their health and their dreams.
I wholeheartedly disagree that chronic illness means that there's something wrong with you and you need fixing.
Actually, I believe that, as a response to circumstance and experience, your chronic illness is a sign of your body doing exactly what it’s been designed to do.
I also believe that your chronic illness holds the information and wisdom you need to help you on your healing journey. It’s your inner guidance system and when you allow it to teach you the language of your body, life feels easier, more joyful and fulfilling.
There’s so much more to this story…it’s time to dive into the podcast!
