Joy After Diagnosis: Chronic Resilience with Betty Hughes
Show Notes

In this episode, I have a detailed conversation with one of the most joyous people I know. My friend, Betty Hughes shared her health journey and the diagnosis she received from the many doctors that she has counseled with. 


Betty had been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis as a child. Hashimotos's Autoimmune disorder after her pregnancies. Shingles, Bell's Palsy and Epstein Barr Virus as an adult. Betty has not only overcome these diagnoses and the pain she had had for years - she is full of joy that radiates in how she cares for herself and takes care of her family.  I have never met a person that has so much joy regardless of what she is dealing with physically, emotionally or spiritually. 


There is more to learn. There is more to overcome. Betty never stopped listening to her body. She mentions the Shame that comes with carrying the diagnosis. Betty changed her relationship with her body and remembered that she has a relationship with God. Her resting in her faith was the ultimate medicine. That is where it begins and ends... listening to your inner voice to keep researching and asking questions until you get relief. Betty isn't the only one. You may be dealing with pain or know someone that is hurting. Betty offered her contact information to continue the conversation- myresilientjourney@tutamail.com.


This show is about you - the listener and how you perceive the experiences you have. I am excited for you to get involved and share your story.
