Discover how to stop pushing through chronic illness—and start thriving by finding your own pace.
For years, I pushed through life battling chronic pain, relentless fatigue, and a frustrating trail of misdiagnoses. I thought I had to fight my body's limits—until I learned the power of pacing myself in harmony with them.
Finding My Own Pace is part memoir, part practical guidebook. In it, I share my personal story alongside clear, compassionate strategies for managing complex chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), and hypermobility syndrome.
Inside, you'll find:
- Insight into difficult symptoms such as brain fog, insomnia, and dysautonomia
- Practical tools for treatment, including pacing, mindfulness, movement, and medication options
- Encouragement and support for living a life filled with purpose and joy, even when faced with limitations
Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been navigating chronic illness for years, Finding My Own Pace offers a compassionate companion to help you stop pushing through and start thriving on your own terms.
