functionaliTEA Tausha

The functionaliTEA podcast is back with a brand new season and brand new TEA.
In this episode host Tausha explains her checklist of 7 ways to get through her symptom episodes, what an episode is and how she helps make sure her friends and family also know what to do during an episode.  

Listening isn't the easiest thing to do in a world that is so very overstimulating. Host Tausha explains an invaluable skill she has learned in listening to her body and how beneficial it has been to her overall functionality.  How well do you listen to your body?

Everyone knows what women are talking about when they say it's "that time of the month" but what does that time look like when it is coupled with chronic illness? What does that time look like when one of your chronic illnesses is directly related to 'that time of the month'? Host Tausha discusses what she has found as best practices to get her through that time and what she has learned since she began dealing with FND and 'that time of the month'

Tenacity is not something we are born with, it is something that we learn.  When facing chronic illness being tenacious and persistent is more than half of the battle. Whether it's just pushing to get through the day, pushing to advocate for ourselves, pushing through comments and judgement or even just pushing to accept that this is the way life looks for us now; we HAVE to push. We must push in order to prosper. In this inspirational episode host Tausha fills us in on just how she remains persistent AND positive.

Traveling is one of the most enjoyable things about life. Host Tausha has already discussed how her traveling experience has been in the past. There are so many places and people out there to see; but travel looks different when you are chronically ill. It becomes a bit harder to plan, and possibly even harder to enjoy. In this episode we discuss traveling as it is happening and what types of extra considerations have to be taken and how chronic illness potentially impacts vacation.
