In this powerful episode, Sandtrice Russell (Tree the LPC) sits down with Cheyanna Donaldson, a Natural Therapeutics Specialist, author of "Pabulum," and a Licensed Massage Therapist educator. Cheyanna bravely shares her incredible story of resilience and healing, detailing her experiences of surviving a cancer diagnosis in her twenties and being diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder in her thirties.

 

Cheyanna opens up about coping with narcissists in her childhood and adult relationships, as well as the profound impact of witnessing her boyfriend take his own life in front of her and her son. She delves into her childhood and religious trauma, specifically within the Mormon community, where she often felt like the black sheep.

 

Through her journey towards holistic health, Cheyanna has found strength and purpose. She discusses the transformative power of holistic therapies and how her experiences have shaped her approach to healing and helping others.

Join us as Cheyanna Donaldson's story inspires us to confront our own challenges, embrace holistic health, and find healing through resilience and self-discovery. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, self-awareness, and the pursuit of well-being amidst life's most trying circumstances.
