Living Consciously with MS

from Sense of Soul · host Shanna Vavra

Today on Sense of Soul we have Jon Chandonnet, he was on the fast track to success, earning his master's from MIT and leading teams to develop software to launch startups, while also scaling mountain peaks and running marathons. But at 33, his life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. For years, Jon lived in denial, ignoring his condition as he pushed himself to even greater extremes. Eventually, his health deteriorated, forcing him to embark on an eight-year journey to understand life's essential elements for vibrant well-being despite his illness. His book Shadow Summit chronicles this inspiring odyssey through denial, suffering, and ultimately healing and wholeness. On this quest, Jon identified seven foundational elements for creating one's healthiest, most fulfilled life. Drawing on his software background, he realized humans, like computers, process daily inputs that shape their outputs. Jon distilled these insights into the 7 VIBRANTs™ well-being system, a holistic framework to mindfully curate the inputs we receive through food, thoughts, emotions and social interactions. This allows anyone to naturally cultivate the vibrant life they desire with greater focus, persistence, joy and ease. Jon is also the author of Shadow Summit, an incredible story of Jon's journey through denial and suffering, to a vibrant life of love, healing, and wholeness that he was determined to make possible. MS knocked Jon down, but it didn't knock him out. It motivated him to become more conscious and intentional about life. Putting into practice his learnings about diet, exercise and spirituality, Jon has reversed his symptoms. Available on here on Amazon. www.vibrantuacademy.com www.senseofsoulpodcast.com
