My job is to somehow make them curious enough or persuade them by hook or crew to get more aware of themselves and where they came from and what they are into and what is already there is to bring it out.

This is what compels me to compel them and I will do it by whatever means necessary.

Welcome to the Black Girl's Hill podcast where we talk about healing or in specific disorders and resolve trauma and building a healthy relationship with first ourselves and then others.

Every episode we will talk about advice you can apply today to break unhealthy patterns and grow in your software.

I'm Shrinella Shea, love addition coach and trauma specialist. Let's begin.

Hello everyone. Welcome to this week's podcast episode. I'm giving you a quick heads up before you start listening. This week's episode I'm going to be talking a little bit about my chronic illness journey.

I promise you I'm going to sound like I am emotional, but I promise you I am so happy. But talking about the different ups and downs of the journey.

I got a little hard at different points. So I just finished recording it. I sent it to our podcast manager who is doing all the good things with it.

And I was like these girls are going to think that I'm still going through it. I am feeling so much better what you're going to hear about in the podcast and feeling so much better emotionally.

And so I just want to let y'all know that. But yeah, let's go ahead and jump on in and I'll see you on the other side.

Hello, hello and welcome to the latest episode of Black Girls Heel. I am as always so happy to be in front of you again today.

So today's episode we are going to be talking about coping with chronic illness.

So chronic illness in the realm of mental illness, whether or not it is lasting any depression and anxiety.

But primarily today, the example that I'm going to use is physical ailments. So whether or not it is diabetes.

Lupus, MS, skin diseases, of course cancers. And for me, I'm going to be talking about dealing with the impact of long-standing hypertension.

As many of y'all know, that is my story. It has been something that I've been actively working through the last several years and has impacted my life.

It is the reason why my mother passed early and there has been so many ups and downs. But today, when I want to talk about based on the juncture I currently am in healing these parts of myself or living with these parts of myself,

which I'll clarify during this episode is I want to talk to those of us who have been sick for a long period of time.

And some of you are more sick than I have been and there is possibly a cure, but you are struggling with it.

Some of you are more sick than I have been and there is no cure and you're dealing with the impact of that.

Some of y'all are trying to manage a sickness and you don't know where it's going and it's been so frustrating for you to get a handle on it.

I want to speak to a lot of the mental loneliness and sadness that comes with that, the difficulty in finding a support group to support you with it.
