In the first part of this two-part mini-series on my podcast, “Truly, Truly Tenay,” I share my journey from adversity to a visionary pursuit of wellness for everyone battling chronic illness. Prompted by my husband’s question about what I want my life’s impact to be, I articulate my dream to demonstrate the efficacy of healing communities in combating many of the struggles Americans face today.
The origin story of my dream unfolds with a recounting of my battle with PTSD-induced health struggles in 2014, which required me to navigate a fragmented healthcare landscape or die trying. Drawing on my biology degree, military experience, and spirituality, I became my own advocate, making informed decisions about my health, which ultimately led me to recover from chronic fatigue syndrome. Despite my progress, I acknowledge the disparities that exist for others without my privileges or advantages.
My story underscores the need for a societal shift towards integrating health into every aspect of a community’s lifestyle. I envision a future where healing communities enable holistic healing for those with chronic illnesses.
In the second part, I describe how to plant such healing communities in a profitable way.
