Ep. 22- Rebuilding the Machine (feat. Tamie Gangloff)

What happens when the athlete’s body you’ve always relied on suddenly changes the rules?” In today’s episode of Chronic Brew, we’re pulling up a chair with Tamie Gangloff—a therapist, educator, and author who navigates life with a unique "double-lens." Tamie joins us to share her powerful journey from competitive athlete to chronic illness patient, and her hard-won recovery from eating disorders, alcoholism, and mental health challenges. We dive deep into the messy middle of healing, discussing: The Identity Shift: How to grieve your "former self" when chronic illness takes the lead. Rebuilding Body Trust: Making peace with a body that feels like it’s "glitching." The Wounded Healer: How lived experience transforms the way Tamie sits across from her clients. Redefining the Win: Why a "successful day" looks different when you're playing the long game of chronic recovery. Whether you're in the thick of your own "wreckage" or looking for a spark of resilience, this conversation is the perfect brew of clinical expertise and raw human heart.
