    Season 3 Episode 2: Boundaries Before Body Breakdown

    In the previous episode of The Hurdle2Hope® Show, I shared how a sudden health crisis led to eight days in ICU after my body went into septic shock.  In this episode, I reflect on what happened before the crisis and one of the most confronting lessons that became clear while recovering in hospital.  Leading up to my hospitalisation, I was dealing with a difficult personal situation and a significant amount of stress. At the time I believed I was coping. I was sleeping, meditating and trying to manage everything calmly.  But what I did not realise was that my body was absorbing that stress in ways I could not see.  During this time my body was already dealing with extreme inflammation in my bowel, something I had no idea about until I was hospitalised.  Looking back now, the lesson is very clear.  Boundaries are not just about relationships. They are about protecting your health.  In this episode I talk about:  • The stress that was building before the crisis  • The illusion of coping when your body is under pressure  • How emotional stress can impact the body physically  • Why strong boundaries are essential for protecting your wellbeing  • The moment I realised the consequences of not prioritising my health  • Why boundaries become even more important when living with chronic illness  One of the hardest reflections from my ICU experience was realising that when your health collapses, you are the one who lives with the consequences.  This episode is part of my series Health Crisis in Real Time, where I share the lessons I am learning while still recovering from a sudden and life-threatening health crisis.  If you live with chronic illness, are navigating high stress, or find it difficult to prioritise your own wellbeing, I hope this conversation offers perspective and encouragement.    Learn more about Teisha’s work supporting women living with chronic illness: https://TeishaRose.com  Follow Hurdle2Hope:  Instagram: @Hurdle2Hope Facebook: Hurdle2Hope    Send Teisha a text message ❤️🧡💚 Unexpected hurdles interrupt all of our lives.

    Season 3 Episode 1: The Moment My Body Shut Down

    A few weeks ago my body went into septic shock and I spent eight days in ICU.  In this episode of The Hurdle2Hope® Show, I share what happened when I went to emergency after weeks of worsening gut symptoms, only to discover my body was going into septic shock.  What began as a visit to hospital quickly escalated as my condition deteriorated and doctors worked to understand what was happening.    This episode was recorded from my hospital room and is the first episode in a new series called Health Crisis in Real Time, where I share what happened during this unexpected health crisis and the lessons I am learning about resilience, healing and navigating serious illness.  For more than 25 years I have lived with multiple sclerosis, and I am also in remission from stage 4 breast cancer. This crisis had nothing to do with either condition, which made the experience even more confronting.  In this episode I talk about:  The morning I realised something was seriously wrong Going to emergency and rapidly deteriorating Being diagnosed with septic shock Eight days in ICU and not responding to treatment as expected The emotional shock of experiencing my body shutting down What helped me stay mentally strong in the darkest moments   Septic shock is a life-threatening medical emergency where the body’s response to infection causes blood pressure to drop dangerously low.  Many people talk about ICU experiences after they have recovered. In this series I’m sharing what it has been like while still processing the experience myself.  If you live with chronic illness, have experienced a medical crisis, or are supporting someone through serious health challenges, I hope this conversation offers both perspective and hope.    Learn more about Teisha’s work supporting women living with chronic illness: https://TeishaRose.com  Follow Hurdle2Hope: Instagram: @Hurdle2Hope Facebook: Hurdle2Hope    Send Teisha a text message ❤️🧡💚 Unexpected hurdles interrupt all of our lives.

    Season 2 Episode 9: Life After Cancer with Steph Davies: Mental Wellbeing Support

    What happens when treatment stops?  When the appointments end, life after cancer often brings new challenges—fear of recurrence, identity shifts, and the question of how to move forward.

    Diabetes affects more than you realise. Here’s why you should care.  In this episode of The Hurdle2Hope® Show, I’m joined by Therese Cameron, Credentialed Diabetes Nurse Educator, Chronic Care Coordinator, and founder of Diabetes Alliance. This conversation is for everyone — whether you're living with diabetes, support someone who is, or want to better understand how to stay well.  We unpack the real differences between type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes, the emotional toll of chronic illness, and why so many people are still being misdiagnosed or misunderstood.  Later in the episode, Therese shares how Qi Gong, a meditative movement practice, became part of her healing journey after cancer — and how it helped shift her entire approach to wellness.    KEY TAKEWAYS  Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are completely different — and need different support approaches Misdiagnosis and stigma are still major issues in diabetes care Technology like insulin pumps and CGMs can be life-changing — but are not the full solution Self-management and education are just as critical as medication Holistic practices like Qi Gong can support emotional and physical healing   SHOW RESOURCES  Website: diabetesalliance.net Email: info@diabetesalliance.net LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/theresecameron/ Resent your Mindset in Nature    ABOUT THE GUEST  Therese Cameron is highly respected, with 20 years' experience as a Credentialed Diabetes Nurse Educator and Chronic Care Coordinator.   She is experienced in the education of adults and children with diabetes as well as medical staff, allied health professionals, corporate organizations, non-government organizations (NGOs) and other primary health care stakeholders in diabetes management and research information.  Therese also has experience as a support nurse in the immunology portfolio of rheumatology, gastroenterology, dermatology, and chronic care management.  She has extensive experience working in the area of Health and Wellness Coaching.

    Season 2 Episode 7: How Understanding Zoe Is Transforming Support for Neurodivergent Children

    You’ve just been handed a life-changing diagnosis for your child — now what?  For many parents of neurodivergent children, the moment of diagnosis brings more questions than answers. Overwhelmed by clinical reports, disconnected from support systems, and expected to become instant experts — the emotional toll is immense.  In this episode of The Hurdle2Hope® Show, I sit down with Laetitia Andrac, CEO and Co-Founder of Understanding Zoe — a revolutionary neuroaffirming platform changing the way we support neurodivergent children.    KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS  Diagnosis is only the beginning – families are often left without clear next steps. Neurodivergence is broader than you think – it includes autism, ADHD, PDA, and more. Personalisation over prescription – every child’s needs and responses are different. Parents need support too – especially when navigating their own neurodivergence. Tech with heart can change lives – how Understanding Zoe brings clarity and connection.   SHOW RESOURCES  Understanding Zoe website https://understandingzoe.com/  Follow on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/understanding.zoe  Connect with Laetitia Andrac on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/laetitiaandrac/  Send Teisha a text message ❤️🧡💚 Unexpected hurdles interrupt all of our lives.
