Laura Kuggeleijn #9: Chronic Fatigue, Trauma & the Power of Nature

from The Brave And The Wild

In this episode, I sit down with Laura Kuggeleijn - a teacher, passionate diver, and someone who brings a lot of thoughtfulness to the way she moves through life. We talk about her experience living with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, being diagnosed with ADHD at 27, and how the ocean became a space for calm, challenge, and healing. Laura also shares openly about a traumatic event that happened while travelling in her late teens, and the non-linear process of recovery that followed.This is a conversation about invisible illness, boundaries, resilience, and the power of connection - to nature, to community, and to yourself. It’s candid, reflective, and full of moments that might help you or someone you care about feel a little less alone.⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of chronic illness, PTSD, physical and sexual assault.
