Living with a chronic illness changes everything — your body, your routines, your relationships, and even your sense of self. In this episode, mental health therapist Karen Helmes, founder of Anam Cara Counseling and Supervision, shares how her personal journey with a neuromuscular disease shapes the way she helps others navigate the realities of ongoing illness.We talk about the grief that comes with losing your “pre-illness” self, how to build a toolbox of coping strategies, and ways to reclaim meaning and joy — even when life looks different than you imagined. Whether you’re living with a chronic condition, caring for someone who is, or simply seeking inspiration on resilience, this conversation is both real and hopeful.🎧 Listen in and discover how acceptance, boundaries, and small daily choices can help you live fully — beyond the diagnosis.#ChronicIllness #MentalHealth #PodcastLife #ChronicIllnessSupport #CaregiverSupport #Resilience #HealingJourney #GriefAndGrowth #AnamCaraCounseling #KarenHelmes #LivingWithIllness #MindsetMatters #HealthAndWellnessPodcast #BeyondTheDiagnosis
