If you’ve ever celebrated a huge win in your healing… only to have a flare knock the wind right out of you right after, this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale. Today I’m continuing the story from Episode 17 and sharing what happened when I left my breakthrough-filled Florida trip and flew straight into… a full-blown flare in my childhood home.
In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I navigated the fear, confusion, and “oh no, is this all falling apart?” spiral - and how that flare actually became the moment my brain completed the rewiring process. I’ll break down why it happened, how I stabilized my system, the incremental steps I took, and why this was the last time I ever experienced a mold reaction.
If you’ve taken “one step forward and two steps back” and are worried it means you’re failing… this episode will give you hope, clarity, and a roadmap to keep going.
In This Episode, We Cover:- Why returning symptoms don’t automatically mean danger
- How I used safety, rest, and incremental exposure to retrain my brain
- The difference between compassionate pacing vs. fear-based avoidance
- Why meaning-making matters more than the symptoms themselves
- Objective markers (VCS tests + labs) that confirmed my brain and body were truly healing
- What I hope you take away if you’re in the messy middle right now
