I created The Joy of Being You to inspire women with stories of hope and transformation. After struggling to let go of the past, repeatedly trying to fix it, and feeling stuck, I realized the key to change was focusing on the future I wanted to create. With the shift of my focus my life started to change as well.
Through the podcast, I share conversations with women who have turned their lives around, even when things felt hopeless. These stories are here to remind you that no matter how hard life gets, there is always a way to find hope and rediscover joy in being yourself.
Dr. Shabita Teja reflects on her 22-year healing journey with ulcerative colitis, from feeling disconnected from her body to understanding what true healing requires.
She reveals how attempts to ignore her pain failed and how real progress began when she listened to her body and soul.
Listen to the full episode to hear how she moved from years of despair and struggle to finally feeling grounded, connected, and better than ever.
