157 - Ellen Alden's Recovery: Navigating Long Covid and Finding Resilience

Long Covid Podcast

What happens when your lively world comes to a sudden standstill? Ellen Alden takes us on an emotional & enlightening journey through her experience with Long Covid. Once filled with exercise, creative writing, and community involvement, Ellen's active lifestyle faced a challenging pause after a family gathering left her with lingering symptoms. She talks about the emotional turbulence of denial & acceptance and the tough choices she faced in stepping back from professional and social commitments. Her story offers a heartfelt look into the complex reality of Long Covid and the profound impact it had on her day-to-day life.
Ellen's path to recovery is one of self-discovery and resilience. With the support of others & her own intuition, she began to identify the triggers that exacerbated her symptoms and embraced nurturing self-care practices. From the calming effects of breath work to the simple comfort of time spent with her dog, Ellen reveals the strategies that helped calm her nervous system and restore a sense of normalcy. She also shares the importance of minimizing stressors, like avoiding the news, & how these practices contributed to a more stable & fulfilling recovery.
