59: Giving Yourself Grace with Dr. Monica Blied

59: Giving Yourself Grace with Dr. Monica Blied

On today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Monica Ellis-Blied, a licensed psychologist, health coach, and chair yoga instructor living in California.

In 2012, Monica was diagnosed with lupus. Over the last eight years, she has come to terms with the idea that the word "healthy" is not a one-size-fits-all term. She also reminds us that it's OK to throw pity parties (complete with balloons and German Chocolate Cake, when the occasion calls for it).

The way she speaks about her diagnosis, her work, and her family are a true testament to her giving nature, and her willingness to face down the challenges that come with having her condition.

You'll notice, in this episode, that Monica has a way about her that is both refreshing and inspiring. She sees her chronic illness diagnosis as a blessing, one that has helped her slow down, to find joy in the little things, and pay attention to what truly matters. I think her insights are something we all need to hear.
