Season 3 Episode 3: Inner Work Is Not Optional

from The Hurdle2Hope® Show · host Teisha Rose

What actually gets you through a crisis? In this episode, I share my experience of being in ICU for eight days after my body went into septic shock, and why the work you do on yourself before a crisis is what carries you through. When I was lying in that hospital bed, I wasn’t building strength in that moment. I was drawing on everything I had already built. This episode explores: • Why inner work is not optional • How MS and stage 4 cancer prepared me for this experience • The difference between fear and being overwhelmed by it • How your response shapes your experience in crisis • The role of spirituality, connection, and support • Why you can’t wait until things fall apart to start working on yourself This conversation is relevant whether you live with a chronic illness or not. Because none of us know when life will change.  🎙️ Referenced in this episode: Reiki and its Benefits for People with Health Conditions (Episode 41) https://www.buzzsprout.com/2291961/episodes/15920561  💻 Explore support: If you’re ready to build your resilience and not just cope: https://teisharose.com/thriving  📲 Connect: Instagram: @hurdle2hope Facebook: Hurdle2Hope  If this episode resonated, follow the podcast and share it with someone who needs to hear it.  Send Teisha a text message ❤️🧡💚 If you’re feeling overwhelmed by a health challenge, download the free guide here: https://teisharose.com/overwhelmed/ If you’re ready for more support, explore the Thriving Through Chronic Illness course and one-on-one coaching here: https://teisharose.com/thrivingWHERE TO GO NEXTIf you’re navigating a health challenge, you can find support and resources atTeishaRose.comIf you’re a professional or organisation looking to strengthen connection and resilience in your work, visitHurdle2Hope.comI’d love to connect with you,TeishaAlso, are you following @hurdle2hope on social media?
