EP.53|PART ONE|MOTHERING FIVE CHILDREN THROUGH AUTO-IMMUNE CHRONIC ILLNESS| GAEA'S STORY OF RESILIENCE, DETERMINATION AND HEALTH INNOVATION|POSTPARTUM IS FOREVER

In this episode, I chat with Gaea. At the tender age of 15, Gaea was forced to give up all that she loved when faced with an unexpected diagnosis of juvenille onset idiopathic rheumatoid arthritis. As a talented runner, Gaea found herself barely even being able to walk and carry out the most basic of daily tasks. But, this story didn't end there. Gaea was not going to let this diagnosis define her. She desired to become a mother and live a full life.This conversation dives deep into the intersection of autoimmunity, motherhood, and natural health innovations. Gaea's honest reflections on managing her condition whilst raising five children will resonate with mothers juggling invisible illnesses and the unspoken struggles of chronic health.Beyond the science, Gaea's insights on emotional resilience, the spiritual side of motherhood, adaptations to the model of 'normal family life' and how self-awareness can bring peace in chaos offer a compelling call to embrace wholeness in all aspects of life. This episode will bring resonance to all mothers, with particular resonance on or women facing autoimmunity, health warriors, and anyone curious about integrative approaches to wellness.This is part one of a two part episode.Please note: The information in this episode is not medical advice.
