Today launches the latest episode of Lyme Time with guest Adam Schomer, the President of i2i Productions who are behind documentaries HEAL and The Road to Dharma, amongst others. I have loved HEAL and featured it on my website for a long time, so this was a special treat for me! The Road to Dharma includes a companion guide just for you to work in after each episode to further your growth. It’s important to keep in mind that healing has many forms, each of them unique and powerful in the puzzle of getting ourselves back to “normal”.

Her line features the “it” women of Italy showcasing their ever-fabulous style throughout the pages of Vanity Fair and Vogue, amongst others. Though JJ doesn’t have Lyme disease, we have a very candid and open conversation about her life as a perfectionist, her chronic condition, infertility, and how she not only faced her innermost personal challenges but how she ended up turning them into powerful resources.
I don’t know about you but when I think about all the blessings in my life, family always comes first. It’s all the things that come with the holiday…the food, the laughter, the funny memories, the football. This year has definitely made thankfulness both deeper felt as well as harder to find.

I’m so excited to tell you about a new podcast out TODAY with Lynda Moresco. Lynda and her family were marching right along in life when her daughter fell extremely ill after an outdoor trip away. Lynda tried everything she knew to treat the fever, aches and pains that ensued and took over their lives. After a frustrating maze of many physicians, her daughter Alexandra was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease amongst other illnesses.
