## Resource

What happens when we stop fighting our bodies and start listening to them? In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Christine Schaffner sits down with author, speaker and Hearts of Wellness founder Wendy Bjork to explore how healing extends far beyond a diagnosis. After living with Multiple Sclerosis for more than three decades, Wendy shares the mindset shifts, lifestyle changes and everyday practices that helped her move from simply managing symptoms to creating a more supportive, intentional life. Together they discuss nervous system regulation, information overload, environmental health, self-compassion, sleep, relationships and why healing often happens in the quiet moments between appointments. Whether you're navigating chronic illness or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical wisdom and hope that healing doesn't require perfection—it begins with one small choice. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why your diagnosis doesn't define who you are • How chronic illness can become a doorway to deeper healing • Why healing begins when we stop fighting our bodies • The role of the nervous system in long-term wellness • How information overload can slow your healing journey • Why small daily habits create lasting change • Wendy's Four Roots of Luminous Living: Clarity Vibrancy Harmony Connection • The surprising environmental changes that made the biggest impact on Wendy's health • Why healing happens "in the space between" appointments Connect with Wendy 🌿 Hearts of Wellness https://www.heartsofwellness.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theempressofms Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wendybjork Connect with Dr. Christine Schaffner Website: https://drchristineschaffner.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drschaffner/ Facebook: https://www.faceboo…
