Ep. 30: Thriving with Chronic Illness with Nitika Chopra

Dealing with resistance to being in your own body? Maybe your body just doesn't feel like a safe place to be? On today's show I invite Nitika Chopra, chronic illness advocate and creator of Chronicon, to talk about her personal journey to healing and the passion she has for her mission to inspire self-love and help others learn to thrive with chronic illness.   We get deep into: Nitika's journey to advocacy and creating her platform for chronically ill folks to build connection What can happen when you make healing the ultimate goal in your life The one thing her inner voice told her that changed her whole life  How damaging the toxic positivity cycle can be and how Nitika broke out of it Balancing the spiritual with the real pain and trauma that disease brings Recognizing trauma in the body and how powerful it can be for transformation Why Nitika started working with a therapist even though it was outside the norm in her culture The relationship between pain and pleasure and how that has shown up in her life An important first step to discovering your own pleasure (and why it's okay if you find this difficult!)
