📘 Breaking Free by Jan Rothney (Updated Edition) - https://amzn.to/4f0mbTE

In this video, Jan Rothney shares how she recovered from ME/CFS after being bedridden, relapsing, and being told by specialists that recovery was impossible. She explains how chronic symptoms can become stuck in brain-body loops, why safety, self-agency, emotional work, and supportive community matter, and how tiny “green shoots” can help rebuild confidence in recovery.

Wired for Wonder™ is designed for people who are naturally highly responsive, deeply feeling, creatively driven or identify with ADHD, neurodivergence or high sensitivity; Wired for Wonder™ helps you work with your nervous system rather than against it.

In this episode, Liz Kotin shares how she spent more than three years battling long COVID — including chronic fatigue, POTS, brain fog, and cardiac symptoms — before discovering the mind-body approach to recovery through books, therapy, and the Curable app. She explains why she was deeply skeptical at first, what tools actually helped her heal, and how the experience transformed the way she relates to herself and her body.
