Hi there! I'm Em and I’m really happy to be connecting with you. Maybe you know my story and if we’ve connected before, hi again! If this is the first time we’re connecting, welcome! I’m going to share a bit of my story just so you know the backstory of all that I share in this space. My story is not unique, but I have noticed in talking with others that have journeyed with a vestibular condition that there are always pieces of my story that are relatable. I’m often told by someone that they can relate to my journey so much and that it is like hearing their own. I know that feeling understood – especially in the midst of a health crisis – is healing for the soul.
In my first book Uncovering Bliss: A Journey With A Vestibular Condition and Beyond I detail my journey through the darkness. I talk about the relentlessness of symptoms and my thoughts along the journey. I detail the ups and downs through healing, but most importantly, I share how I found myself along the way and recreated my health.
That experience with a vestibular something (vestibular neuritis + vestibular migraines were the labels thrown at me) created a massive shift in my life. It forever changed how I approach my health and this present moment. I feel like it broke me only so I could rebuild and reevaluate how I would fuel my wellness now and into the future. It sparked my fire to help others journeying through a health crisis.
There was a time close to five years ago when my heart was breaking from the intense symptoms that came with my vestibular something--derealization, floating feeling, anxiety painting my body, brain fog, fatigue, eyes that didn’t want to focus, and just an overall feeling of being “off”.
With a grateful heart I can happily say that I do not experience any of those symptoms anymore, but the heart does not forget.
I want you to know that you are understood.
And your vestibular something is a chapter.
Keep trudging...
Advocate for your health.
Protect your energy.
Believe in life beyond the vestibular stuff (even when it feels impossible).
And know that you have support every step of the way.
