Today, we’ve got another classic, long-form interview to share with you… 

Darla is a longstanding member of SmartBody SmartMind™ – she first went through this 12-week program in 2017 and has done it every round since, learning new things each time. 

While her healing is ongoing, her story so far is just incredible.

Even her doctors can’t explain the positive shifts they are now seeing in her body. But, as Darla shares, THIS kind of healing runs deeper and ripples out further than the physical changes… 

Here are just some of the topics we get into in our chat:

  • The power of creative expression & Darla’s new work as an art therapist
  • How she came to live with syringomyelia & her experience with treatments
  • Why SBSM has worked so well for Darla where all other therapies fell short
  • The importance of identifying as a survivor & not getting stuck in victimhood
  • The difference that attitude makes & the role that Darla’s own faith has played

While the symptoms she lives with are specific to her various traumas and the way her system has responded, don’t let that fool you. There’s something so universal and relatable about Darla.

If you’re looking for a reason to hang on to hope, then don’t miss this interview.

My sense is her gentle optimism and determined faith (despite significant adversity) might just be the inspiration that YOU need to keep going.

To your nervous system health & healing!
