Show Notes

My guest on today's podcast, Dafne Wiswell is no stranger to chronic illness. She has dealt with depression, panic attacks, rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto's. Her 3 children all have health issues too - Sensory Processing Disorder, juvenile arthritis and Type 1 Diabetes!

Unsurprisingly, Dafne thinks stress was a trigger for her auto-immune conditions and so has dedicated a lot of time and effort in learning how to manage her stress well so she can have the energy and capacity to, well, deal with everyday life!

Some of the keys we talk about were:

  • Trusting your intuition with diet and going back to what you know works well for you when you need to (plant based for her)
  • How Dafne protects her mental and emotional space
  • Boundaries with people
  • Turning off notifications on her phone.
  • Stop multitasking.
  • Being really careful with her schedule and planning time for the things that make her feel grounded.
  • Things that help Dafne to rest. 
  • Mindset
  • Letting go of health 'perfection'
  • The thyroid personality

What I enjoyed about this conversation with Dafne was her gentleness with herself, and I'm sure with those she works with. She has a sense of peace which I'm sure comes from her faith and having done the hard work of 'letting go' of so many of the uncontollables!
