Woe Is Me or Get Up and Go: Finding Light Through Lifelong Adversity

from The Listening Well · host Shania

In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Carly, an inspiring woman living with Rubella Syndrome, a rare condition that has impacted every part of her body — from her bones and organs to her skin. Despite enduring 64 surgeries and daily physical challenges, Carly radiates resilience and positivity. She opens up about her powerful mantra, “Woe is me or get up and go,” and how it shapes her approach to life each day. Together, we explore the blend of western medicine, mindfulness practices, and mental resilience that keeps her grounded and hopeful. This conversation is a testament to the human spirit — and a reminder that even in the midst of pain, purpose and joy can coexist.🔗 Connect with GuestWebsite: https://carlyathorne.com/ Email: [email protected] Recommended Resources:IETLearning.com “Reiki”https://theiam.app/ Join us on the pod by emailing [email protected] OR by filling out this form: ⁠https://forms.gle/fDTXcNSDXYLJ4Xz18⁠ Check our our list of books recommended on the pod: https://linktr.ee/shaniak
