It’s finally here and I am so excited for this new year and new adventure! Initially scheduled to release in December, in true 2020 fashion, curveballs were thrown, and a I had to push back the release to this year, but I am so glad that this is the first big announcement that I get to make for 2021!
A little about the new podcast…
I don’t know about you, but there have been times in my life when I’ve felt like I am the only one struggling with certain things, and it’s a pretty isolating feeling. But, if I’ve learned anything through my years as a health coach and advocate, it’s that no one is immune to struggling and how much of a vital role community support plays in not only helping us through our struggles but also in our ability to connect with those in that community when our personal battles try to isolate us. There is something that just hits differently when you feel like you can relate to someone over an experience, or that almost magical moment when you say, “Oh, hey! You too? I thought it was just me!” It’s like suddenly you feel seen and validated for the first time, and not like the isolated outsider or imposter that you were feeling prior to that. A weight gets lifted at that moment, and you can finally breathe. 2020 taught us a lot, but I think for the first time as a collective whole, we learned how important connection is to our overall well-being. There are so many secret and maybe not-so-secret struggles, and I can’t help but feel that the more that we create a safe space to talk about these things, the more we can begin to heal as a whole and the better we can show up in our own lives and for the people who matter to us most.
The chronic illness community has taught me a lot. More than I could ever put into words here, but after finding my community and connecting with so many incredible people these last few years, and seeing the profound shift in my own health journey, it got me thinking that there have to be others out there who feel the same way I do. People who just need to feel seen, and have their experiences validated to know that they aren’t alone in the world. So that’s where “Secretly Relatable” comes in. This new show will be all about creating a safe space for everyday people to share their stories and struggles, and how they’ve managed to figure out a way over, under, around, and through them. My guests and I will be sharing our tools, tips, and resources that have helped us along the way. Our struggles may not always look the same, but it doesn’t mean we can’t relate to the feeling of struggling, and benefit from adding tools to our toolbox when we find ourselves in a struggle season again, because p.s., no one gets through this life without struggling with something, sometime-no matter what it looks like from the outside.
Episodes will be released every Wednesday, and I would love for you join me on this new adventure.
