info_outlineEver felt like your skin was working against you – and that no one understood?
In this new video, I share my full eczema journey – how it started in childhood, intensified after heartbreak and postpartum, and nearly pushed me to give up. I open up about the emotional pain, the turning points, and the long, messy road to healing.
Could healing your skin start with healing more than just your body?
I went through a tough time with my skin, dealing with rashes that left me feeling uncomfortable and unable to shower. I struggled with my self-image and often avoided looking in the mirror.
But somehow, I found my way through and eventually healed.
After 10 years, I'm ready to share my complete story about battling eczema. It all started in my childhood, became overwhelming during difficult life events like heartbreak and after having a baby, and finally, I discovered what truly helped me heal.
I faced severe skin flare-ups and deep feelings of sadness, but I found my way to recovery by taking a whole-person approach – focusing on my overall health rather than just my skin.
I want to share my honest journey, the unexpected triggers I discovered, and the hope that I thought I had lost.
💡 3 important THINGS from my experience:
1️⃣ Eczema isn't just about the skin—our emotions, stress, and past experiences can make flare-ups worse.
2️⃣ Changing my diet helped a bit, but real healing came when I also looked at my gut health, nutritional needs, and hormones.
3️⃣ Even when doctors say things seem hopeless, improvements are possible!
If you’re battling eczema or dealing with the effects of stopping steroid creams, don’t lose hope. Healing is achievable.
