80: When Chronic Illness Meets Adventure: Adaptive Sports, Foraging & Emergency Prep -Antoinette Lee

🎧 New Episode Released April 14 | Featuring Antoinette Lee

What happens when your life completely falls apart—and you have to rebuild it from nothing?

In this powerful episode of Autoimmune Adventures, we sit down with Antoinette Lee, a resilience coach, speaker, and advocate who transformed her life after traumatic brain injury, severe PTSD, and life-threatening illness.

At her lowest point, Antoinette was unable to eat or drink, relying on a walker, a service dog, and full-time care—preparing for what she believed would be the end.

Today, she’s living a bold, expansive life—proving that a “new normal” doesn’t have to mean a smaller life.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ How to advocate for yourself in a healthcare system that doesn’t always listen ✨ The moment she stopped trusting everyone else—and started trusting her body ✨ Why nature is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) healing tools ✨ How to prepare for emergencies when you live with chronic illness ✨ The mindset shift from “my body betrayed me” to “my body is communicating” ✨ Why waiting to feel ready is what keeps most people stuck

Her message is simple—but life-changing:

You don’t need to be extraordinary to live a big life. You just need the right steps—and the belief that it’s possible.

And the truth most people don’t want to hear:

“You’re actually never going to feel ready, so if you wait for that moment, it’s just not going to happen.”
