Learning to trust yourself and your body again after health challenges

Learning to trust yourself and your body again after health challenges
Welcome to The Healing Diaries—a journey into holistic health, personal transformation, and true healing without overwhelm. We are living in a time where there is SO much information about health that we are exposed to every day from social media, blogs, books, and more. When we’re on a quest to get rid of symptoms, or feel better, it can feel absolutely overwhelming to know how to sift through all of this information to find what really matters for us. It creates an internal confusion looking like “what diet is right for me? Do I need to be eating all that protein? Or none of it? Is cortisol causing all of my issues? Are seed oils killing me? Or is stressing about it all worse?” When we have so much noise and so many external voices, it can be really hard to hear our own and we may feel confused, overwhelmed and even fearful. The question I want to shed light on today is why have we come to not trust ourselves when it comes to our health? In this episode I share: The two biggest reasons I see for losing trust in our bodies and ourselves The role of trauma and disconnection from self My 4 step method for coming back into connection with your body If you’re ready to feel better in your body and take control of your health in a way that honors your unique needs and weaves together all elements of healing - mind body and spirit, head to to book a free discovery call with me.

Why am I so tired? Understanding fatigue as a messenger and how to reclaim energy

Why am I so tired? Understanding fatigue as a messenger and how to reclaim energy
Welcome to The Healing Diaries—a journey into holistic health, personal transformation, and true healing without overwhelm. In this episode I want to offer a new way to understand and relate to fatigue—one that’s more helpful and empowering and ultimately effective. Because fatigue isn’t just something to push through or eliminate. It’s a messenger. In our society, fatigue and stress have been painted as villains—things to fight against or get rid of at all costs. We drink coffee to override tiredness, push through exhaustion, and reward productivity over rest. I get it. I’ve spent years dragging my tired body through long shifts, expecting it to function like everyone else’s. But what’s the cost of treating fatigue as something to battle instead of something to listen to? Just like stress, fatigue is trying to tell us something. It highlights areas where something isn’t working in our body or in our life. Ignoring it—by masking it with caffeine, pushing through, or numbing out—only disconnects us further from what our body truly needs. The farther we get from it, the harder it can be to come back to balance. When we do this long enough, our bodies will eventually send louder signals to get our attention. In this episode I share: How to understand fatigue as a messenger 3 client case studies on different origins of fatigue Tangible ways to boost energy Right now, in this moment after hearing a few stories, I would love to know what is your fatigue asking of you? Take a moment to connect with your body, and just ask. I’d love to hear from you. DM me at @christinatidwellrn on Instagram or reply to my email and share your experience. If you’re struggling with fatigue and want personalized guidance, I’d love to support you. Over the past decade, I’ve helped hundreds of clients get to the root of their symptoms, restore their energy, and feel great in their bodies again.

In this call I’ll hear more about your story and what’s going on for you, share how I work, and we’ll come up with a crystal clear plan of action for you to move forward.

Welcome to The Healing Diaries—a journey into holistic health, personal transformation, and true healing without overwhelm. Have you ever been told that everything is normal with your labs or at a doctor’s visit, but you still feel terrible? You might be here because you’re experiencing symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, digestive issues, hormone imbalance or just a general sense of inflammation or puffiness. Maybe you’ve gotten an actual diagnosis like Hashimoto’s, or Rheumatoid Arthritis, or PCOS or maybe your symptoms don’t fit into a nice and tidy “category” , and you just don’t feel right, and you’re left feeling confused about what’s going on in your body.

In this episode I share: The difference between "normal" and "optimal" labs The difficulty of fitting into a disease category (and what happens when you don't) Client stories to help you feel validated and see a clearer path forward for yourself If you’re ready to feel better in your body and take control of your health in a way that honors your unique needs and weaves together all elements of healing - mind body and spirit, head to to book a free discovery call with me.

My personal story of overcoming chronic illness through a body, mind, spirit approach

My personal story of overcoming chronic illness through a body, mind, spirit approach
Welcome to The Healing Diaries—a journey into holistic health, personal transformation, and true healing without overwhelm. In this episode I share my personal journey of illness and healing with you. I truly believe that a healer can only take you as far as they’ve gone themselves. While we don’t need to have identical experiences to support one another, I’ve learned firsthand that having deep personal experience, and navigating so many facets of chronic illness, and really practicing what I preach on a daily basis —is essential to holding space for others in their healing as well. In this episode I share: My diagnosis with an autoinflammatory condition at 17 years old The tools that worked (and the ones that did not) for me What it looked like to take a "body, mind, and spirit" approach to my healing How I guide others through this process of holistic healing as well If you’re ready to feel better in your body and take control of your health in a way that honors your unique needs and weaves together all elements of healing - mind body and spirit, head to to book a free discovery call with me. In this call I’ll hear more about your story and what’s going on for you, share how I work, and we’ll come up with a crystal clear plan of action for you to move forward. I’d be honored to support you and hear your story!
