Living with a chronic illness is hard, which is why in our first topic, we discuss the 5 stages of Acceptance, and why they are important for healing. It’s a bit heavy on the theory side (sorry!), as we explore the sum of what we’ve learnt about acceptance over the combined 8 years we've struggled with this illness. It will all get broken down in future episodes! Look no further for the first instalment of Lindsay’s top tips from the animal world and Stu’s own poem ’The Unlearning’. Just a reminder, this is not medical advice, we are all unique, so take what we say with a pinch of salt and listen to your body. We’d always suggest you work with a trusted, qualified practitioner.  Some of the resources we mention:    Tara Brach: Radical Acceptance and Podcast     Gabor Mate: When the Body Says No    DARE by Barry McDonaugh    Gemma Hanley Coaching Instagram    Holistic Psychologist Instagram    Alex Howard Instagram     Yung Pueblo Instagram    Lots of love!     Lindsay and Stu @postviralpodcast
