The Link Between Trauma and Chronic Illness (and What To Do About It)

In this episode of Holistic Healing with Lorrie, I share my unique approach to welcoming the New Year instead of rigid resolutions.

My dad’s holiday story is always a touchstone for me of what the holidays are truly about, but I think we all especially need this story this year because of all that has been happening (wow, what a year!).  The message Papa Rivers has so eloquently, creatively and sweetly embodied here is one of connecting with our fellow humans (or animals), regardless of our differences.   I hope the story leaves you and your family’s hearts warm and glowing for this holiday season.   Heat up some spiced apple cider (or hot tea if you're following the Relief & Transformation Eating Plan 😉) sit down by the fire and get cozy for this holiday treat.Big love 🧡LorriePS.  If you prefer to read it, you can do that here: https://www.livingfrominspiration.com/blog/2020/12/23/papa-rivers-holiday-story-with-fox-and-mole-and-pupSUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: ⏩ Website - https://www.lorrieriversholistic.com⏩ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lorrieriversholistic⏩ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lorrierivers_⏩ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lorrierivers_LET'S CONNECT 📲⏩ Website - https://www.livingfrominspiration.com⏩ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lorrieriversyoga⏩ Twitter: https://twitter.com/stompinangel⏩ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lorrierivers_⏩ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lorrierivers_
