Hey there Earthlings!
Today we are beaming up the chronic illness warrior Shabnam Rakhiba, GMBPsS, ACT.Accred.(AAAC). Shabnam is an empowerment and resilience coach for women with chronic illness, pain, and disability. Founder of Thorns & Roses coaching. Masters in Psychology. Qualified Life Coach, an Accredited practitioner of Acceptance and commitment therapy (third-wave CBT).
This episode explores what it's like to live with chronic illness and disabilities. We dive into tricky subjects including: toxic positivity, navigating relationships with chronic illness, and honoring the emotional journey of living with chronic illness and disabilities.
Shabnam's Bio:
For 13 years (since my early twenties), I have lived with idiopathic chronic pain, with the latest plausible diagnoses being endometriosis and fibromyalgia. Throughout much of my adult life, I have been through it all – misdiagnoses, failed treatments and surgery, health-related anxiety, suicidal thoughts, being bed-ridden, and losing career prospects. Despite it all, I fought – and today I have expanded my understanding of wellness beyond the physical aspect to include emotional, psychosocial and spiritual healing. Wellness – feeling good in my skin, in body and spirit – is now my priority. Even though I still live with incomprehensible chronic pain after trying a plethora of allopathic and naturopathic protocols, I am now at peace, happy and successful. I thrive despite the pain, using a variety of psychological and practical strategies. As an empowerment and resilience coach, I help other women living with chronic pain and illness look beyond physical symptoms and take a holistic view of their healing. My practice is grounded in mindfulness, compassion, and Acceptance. I have worked with women with cancer, reproductive health challenges, autoimmune disease as well as congenital disorders. I am a co-author of the upcoming book 'Healing Chronic Pain.' My research manuscript on the lived experience of British South Asian women with endometriosis is also currently being prepared for publication in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Today we are beaming up phenomenal social worker Michelle Agopsowicz, BCR, MSW, RSW. In this episode, we explore trauma stemming from the disabled experience, the idea of sacred justice, and how folks can break through their internalized biases surrounding disabilities.
Michelle offers counseling and education opportunities from a holistic, trauma-informed perspective. She aims to create wellness and balance by integrating traditional counseling and energy techniques. This approach has developed through her own journey of having an autoimmune condition, trauma, and anxiety. She offers practices and discussions that can guide us to live a more fulfilled and authentic experience with self-compassion. She strongly believes trauma is a universal human experience that affects the body, mind, and spirit. She believes that addressing our suffering leads to a beautiful, painful journey and ultimately reconstructs our fundamental meaning of compassion, humanity, and our place in the world.
