134 ~ Bed bound for 6 Years at 17: Lily Schubert's Journey with ME/CFS, Chronic Illness & Recovery

At just 17 years old, Lily Schubert's life changed dramatically.What began as declining health progressed into severe ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), leaving her bedbound for six years. During that time, Lily couldn't sit up, couldn't move her arms freely, and couldn't even roll over in bed without experiencing excruciating pain. She became completely dependent on those around her for even the most basic tasks.In this deeply moving conversation, Lily shares what it was really like to spend some of the most formative years of her life confined to a bed, navigating unimaginable physical suffering, isolation, and uncertainty. She opens up about the loneliness of losing social connection, the challenges of living with an often misunderstood invisible illness, and the impact chronic illness had on her identity, family, and future.We also discuss her diagnoses and the realities of navigating the healthcare system, and what she wishes more people understood about living with these complex illnesses.Most importantly, Lily shares the remarkable story of her gradual recovery. From taking her first steps outside again to returning to activities she once feared she'd never experience, she reflects on what it means to rebuild a life after losing so much time to illness.This episode is a powerful reminder that resilience doesn't always look like pushing through. Sometimes it looks like surviving one day at a time, holding onto hope when life becomes unimaginably small, and finding the courage to begin again.Whether you're living with chronic illness yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for a story that will shift your perspective on resilience, this is a conversation you won't soon forget.DOWNLOAD MY SYMPTOM TRACKERS : <a href="https://www.beforeyoubloom.com/shop" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">HERE</a>Find Lily : <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lilygschubert" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">HERE</a> 💙 BOOK IN FOR 1:1 TRAUMA THERAPY WITH HAYLEY : <a href="https://calendly.com/hayley-beforeyoubloom" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> 💙💗 Thank you so much for being here on this adventure with me! 💗- Hayley Kinneavy xo✨ Find us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.instagram.com/beforeyoubloom/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@beforeyoubloom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>✨✉️ Email me : hayley@beforeyoubloom.com🎧⭐ Follow us on :<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/before-you-bloom/id1756021293" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>🎧⭐ Follow us on :<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7IkDCmK17det8xBgTFWB54?si=Js2HYQVsTg6nfP5W4_-BFQ" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>💗 Visit our : <a href="https://www.beforeyoubloom.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> The Before You Bloom Podcast is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.

133~ Why I Became a Nun at 19: Helen Whait on Trauma, Control, and Finding Freedom

In this powerful conversation, Helen Whait shares the extraordinary and deeply human story behind her decision to become a nun at just 19, and the lived experiences that shaped that moment long before she ever stepped into a convent.Helen reflects on a childhood marked by emotional abuse and control, and what it does to a young person’s sense of self, safety, and identity. She speaks honestly about what “normal” looked like growing up in that environment, and how survival can sometimes blur the line between restriction and refuge.We explore the moment she chose the convent, and why something that may appear outwardly restrictive felt, at the time, like freedom. Helen opens up about what the convent gave her that she had been missing, what daily life was really like behind the walls, and whether the belonging she longed for ever truly arrived.This conversation also dives into the quieter, harder work that comes after: unlearning internalised beliefs, learning to trust yourself again, and understanding that the problem was never you. Helen speaks to the real practice of setting boundaries after a lifetime of having none, and the guilt and fear that can come with it.Now working as an occupational therapist, she reflects on how her past has shaped the way she supports others, and how her biggest challenges have gradually become part of her strength and purpose. This episode is for anyone who has ever questioned their upbringing, felt trapped in a version of life that didn’t fit, or is quietly trying to rebuild themselves after leaving something that once felt like home.Find Helen : <a href="https://www.instagram.com/helen.whait/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Instagram</a> 💙 BOOK IN FOR 1:1 TRAUMA THERAPY WITH HAYLEY : <a href="https://calendly.com/hayley-beforeyoubloom">⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠</a> 💙💗 Thank you so much for being here on this adventure with me! 💗- Hayley Kinneavy xo✨ Find us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.instagram.com/beforeyoubloom/?hl=en">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@beforeyoubloom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>✨✉️ Email me : hayley@beforeyoubloom.com🎧⭐ Follow us on :<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/before-you-bloom/id1756021293">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>🎧⭐ Follow us on :<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7IkDCmK17det8xBgTFWB54?si=Js2HYQVsTg6nfP5W4_-BFQ">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>💗 Visit our : <a href="https://www.beforeyoubloom.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>The Before You Bloom Podcast is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.

132 ~ EXCITING NEWS! I am a Qualified Holistic Trauma Therapist, with your host Hayley Kinneavy

After years of sharing stories of resilience, healing, and growth through Before You Bloom, I'm excited to share a new chapter of my own journey.In this solo episode, I open up about becoming a Holistic Trauma Therapist and what led me to this path. From my experiences navigating chronic illness and personal challenges to the countless conversations I've had with incredible guests and listeners over the years, I've seen firsthand how deeply our experiences shape us and how healing is about so much more than simply "moving on."Whether you've experienced trauma, are navigating a difficult season, or are simply curious about the work I now do, I hope this episode offers insight, encouragement, and a reminder that healing is not linear and you don't have to walk the journey alone.As always, thank you for being part of this community. It is an honour to continue growing and blooming alongside you.💙 BOOK IN FOR 1:1 TRAUMA THERAPY WITH HAYLEY : <a href="https://calendly.com/hayley-beforeyoubloom" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠</a> 💙 💗 Thank you so much for being here on this adventure with me! 💗- Hayley Kinneavy xo✨ Find us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.instagram.com/beforeyoubloom/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@beforeyoubloom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>✨✉️ Email me : hayley@beforeyoubloom.com🎧⭐ Follow us on :<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/before-you-bloom/id1756021293" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>🎧⭐ Follow us on :<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7IkDCmK17det8xBgTFWB54?si=Js2HYQVsTg6nfP5W4_-BFQ" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>💗 Visit our : <a href="https://www.beforeyoubloom.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>The Before You Bloom Podcast is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.
