Hi! I’m Ellen. I’d love to introduce myself to the Shift.ms community. I have secondary progressive MS - and lost my father to PPMS 33 years ago. I became a certified hypnotherapist and mindset strategist 5 years ago while I was still actively working as a biotech sales executive - until I lost my career and the life I knew to this maddening disease. I struggled big time with overthinking and anxiety. I lost my sense of purpose. I kept helping others through my hypnotherapy practice but was constantly giving from an empty cup. Can anyone else relate? Anyway, after years of searching outside of myself for ways to feel better, I finally decided to stop self-destructing and go within for the answers - to quiet the negative inner voice and find peace. I’m no guru. I have bad moments all the time. I just break out of them quicker. And I keep coming back to believing in the unknown. There’s so much we don’t know about the future. Regardless of our diagnosis or symptoms - possibility is still always on the table. In love and forward motion, Ellen 🌿
