    Episode 18. Carla - Discussing TSW, A Journey of Slow Healing & How Community Creates Change

    Carla joins us on the show today to discuss her story from 2020. When Carla lost her job from COVID 19, she decided to move to slow down and start real healing with time and space on her side. She tells of her long journey with Topical Steroid Cream, how the western medical system failed her, how she found treatment and healing in community and how she invited in a slowing way of healing to really get to the root cause of her dis-ease. Carla comes on the show today to share her truths, to connect with other who may be experiencing this and to help create a community outside of the western medical system which denies that TSW is a side affect of the prescribed cream they give to people with skin conditions. A important and intimate story to be shared, about grief, healing and perseverance. Instagram @leskec
