Just because you didn't get exactly what you thought you were going to get doesn't mean that there's not a whole journey of awesomeness that can still be had.
What does it mean to truly accept and live with chronic illness? Raquel Hellenga, a life and business coach for chronically ill creatives and entrepreneurs, offers a heartfelt glimpse into her world on this episode of 'Showing Up with Asher Gottesman'. Raquel’s journey is one of resilience and self-discovery, as she navigates the complexities of chronic illness and mental health.
She opens up about the differences between mental illness and chronic illness, sharing her own experiences with denial and eventual acceptance of her disability. Diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, Raquel sheds light on the unique challenges that come with such a late diagnosis.

With practical tips for those struggling with chronic illnesses, Raquel emphasizes the importance of grieving and validating one's own experiences. Her insights on balancing dreams and reality while managing chronic illness are both inspiring and practical. This episode isn't just about surviving; it's about thriving despite the odds.
