About this episode

Joining me in this conversation today is my guest, Debbie Emick! Debbie approached me to be a guest and I am so glad she did because she shared an incredible story with me of being a survivor of multiple chronic illness and autoimmune diseases. She is also the author of The Other Side of Perfect: Discovering the Mind-Body Connection to Healing Chronic Illness. Debbie also shares how she overcame perfectionism and people pleasing. She dives into the mind-body connection when it comes to unresolved trauma and what her experience was like searching for the magic bullet solution.
