Chronic Illness Did Not End My Story, It Started A New One with Dr. Jeffery Bone

Send us Fan MailBlack mold is not a scary headline, it can be a life-altering reality. Jeffrey Bowen joins me to walk through what happened after years of exposure in a poorly maintained office HVAC system, how it spiraled into chronic illness symptoms like crushing fatigue, pain, headaches, memory issues, and insomnia, and why getting answers can be so hard when you’re living with something complex and invisible.We also get honest about the emotional toll of being dismissed, misread, or told it’s “just anxiety” while you’re fighting to function. Jeffrey shares the surprising practice that helped him survive the darkest stretch: writing poetry. He explains why poetry worked when plain prose didn’t, and how putting words to suffering can create structure, agency, and a small pocket of relief when your nervous system is on constant alert.From there, we widen the lens to purpose, faith, and community. Jeffrey talks about pivoting from psychologist to chronic illness coach, creating journals that give people space to reflect instead of being told what to do, and why real self-help should ultimately lead to helping others. If you’re navigating toxic mold illness, chronic pain, long COVID-like symptoms, or any season where your old story feels cut off, this conversation offers both grounded tools and spiritual encouragement to keep going.Subscribe wherever you listen, share this with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find support.
