Leave It Behind — You Are Not Your Illness
Reclaim Your Identity and Begin Your Healing Journey
Have you ever caught yourself saying things like, “my Lyme”, “my Hashimoto’s”, “my anxiety,” or “my fatigue”?
It’s a common way we speak — almost without thinking. But over time, that language starts to stick. And soon, the diagnosis becomes your identity.
But here’s the truth:
You are not your illness. You are not your symptoms. You are not broken.
Why Language Matters in Your Healing Process
When we attach the word “my” to a diagnosis, we unintentionally give it power. It becomes part of how we see ourselves, how we describe ourselves, and often how others see us, too. It becomes something we own, rather than something we need healing from.
I’ve been there myself.
There was a time I said things like “my Lyme Disease”, “my Hashimoto’s”, and “my Autoimmunity.”
But none of those things ever truly belonged to me — they were chapters in my life, not my whole story.
You Are Not Stuck — You’re Becoming
Whether it’s chronic fatigue, hormone imbalances, autoimmune flares, or mystery Symptoms, many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, like their body has betrayed them, in fear that they’ll never feel like themselves again.
But I want you to know something:
♡ You are not defined by your diagnosis.
♡ You are not doomed to keep living with an illness.
♡ You are allowed to leave the pain behind and walk forward freely in better health and healing.
You are healing.
You are rebuilding.
You are becoming stronger, wiser, and more aligned than ever before.
The Power of Letting Go
Letting go doesn’t mean pretending the illness or symptoms never existed. It means choosing not to let them rule you and your life anymore.
When you stop saying “my illness” and start saying “this is something I’m healing from” or “something I walked through,” your body and mind both shift.
You reclaim your power.
You make room for peace.
You allow the future to take shape — instead of repeating the past.
