About From Grief to Giving: My Patient Journey with Scoliosis
This 5-episode podcast series chronicles my seven-year journey battling scoliosis. While scoliosis is a physical condition, it also brings significant psychological struggles that are often overlooked. Each episode mirrors a stage of grief that a scoliosis patient might experience: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, or acceptance. Please note that I am not a medical professional. The advice and insights shared in this podcast are based solely on my own experiences. I hope to offer support and encouragement to those facing similar challenges.

After years of struggling with my condition, I reached a point where I could accept the need for surgery and focus on improving my quality of life. This stage was marked by emotional stability, a shift towards planning for the future, and a sense of peace with my decision. Join me as I share how acceptance allowed me to move forward and find happiness again.
