80. Can You Find Peace in the Storm of Chronic Illness? with Maureen Pratt

from Warrior Words | Stories of Hope | Finding Beauty After Battles & Thriving After Surviving Trauma · host Heather Gaffney - Author, Artist, and YouTuber; Storyteller, Warrior, Survivor, Thriver & Faithful Catholic

Welcome to Episode 80 of the Warrior Words podcast!   Chronic. Just the word alone implies little to no relief. Whether it's chronic pain or chronic illness, it's something we'd all like to avoid, but honestly, something most of us will deal with at some point in our lives. Sometimes that will be a chronic condition within our own bodies, and other times, caring for a loved one. Maureen's experience with the word 'chronic' started at a young age, but she used the opportunity to learn some valuable lessons. These lessons would serve her well when the word 'chronic' interrupted her life a few more times down the road. One of these times completely changed the trajectory of her life. Tune in to learn how Maureen discovered peace in her storms and how she is now sharing that peace with others.   Learn more about Maureen: Website: www.maureenpratt.com Website: www.thepeaceinthestormproject.com Podcast mentioned: The Work of Thy Hands: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/allison-deboer/   Donate to the Star of the Sea Guild through our fiscal sponsor! https://raisedonors.com/xaviermissionfund/star-of-the-sea-guild   Armor Up.
