From Corporate to Conscious: A Journey Through Long-Haul Covid with Krista Atkinson

Krista was SO MUCH FUN to sit down and talk to you’ll pick up quickly on the fact that she has experience as a stand-up comedian. Krista reached out to me and pitched herself to be a guest on my podcast and you guys know I LOVE when people do that. Her story was one that was one I thought needed to be shared.

In 2019 Krista was living a dream life from the outside, a corporate babe with a large corporation living in Chicago in a beautiful high-rise apartment on Lake Michigan. A highly independent, single woman.

February 2020 began what we now see as a rock bottom for her: she contracted COVID19 and has since been battling long-haul COVID. This resulted in her having to leave her corporate hob, leave her apartment, move in with her parents, and rediscover who she was, what her passions were, and what on earth happened.

Krista’s story is filled with SOOOOOO much so this is a longer episode than normal but you’ll find that she’s so easy to listen to and has wisdom in each of the words that she speaks. She shares her raw story of what it was like to be living the “dream life” and then to end up back living with her parents. She tells us about how THIS is what began to deepen her relationship with spirituality and dive back into a passion she’s always had: writing.

Krista has been through the ringer to say the least, but through it all she has trusted and has been held and supported by so many. It has given her a chance to reassess and reevaluate EVERYTHING. She has taken this time in her life in stride and step back to see what it is all teaching her and how her own story can help others.

Just a heads up, one of the symptoms of long-haul COVID is brain fog and neurotesting has shown above average atrophy in her brain as a result of this diagnosis. This means that she often will blank and forget what she was saying. She has requested that I leave in all period of silence in which she is collecting her thoughts in an effort to give you a glimpse into the symptoms and seriousness of long-haul covid.
