Episode 20 - Back to Square One: I’m Starting Over Part I

Written By Daniela Spear

In this episode I’m sharing a deeply personal and unexpected turn in my healing journey—how I went from being medication-free for a year to facing an autoimmune flare-up that forced me to reconsider everything. If you've ever struggled with the balance between holistic healing and medical treatment, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about it.

  • The Turning Point: How an intense event, stress, and lifestyle factors triggered a severe autoimmune flare.

  • Listening to My Body (or Not): Ignoring early signs of trouble, pushing through pain, and the consequences of waiting too long.

  • Travel, Stress & Symptoms: From an anniversary trip to Banff to a kettlebell workshop in NYC—how my body signaled distress along the way.

  • The Wake-Up Call: Experiencing severe swelling, lab results confirming kidney involvement, and the overwhelming reality of hospital admission.

  • Medication & Mixed Feelings: Navigating the decision to restart treatment, the impact on my body, and my continued commitment to holistic healing.

  • A Cliffhanger: My unexpected return to the hospital—what happened next? (Stay tuned for Part II.)

Healing isn’t linear, and I’m learning to embrace every twist and turn. Stay tuned for Part 2, where I’ll reveal what happened next. Until next time, be well.
