Healing Yourself from Within

What if we told you that the secret to healing your mental health is actually quite simple? 

In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we sat down with Josie Warren to talk about her own struggles with autoimmune diseases, mental illnesses, and addiction, and how she learned to heal it all in one fell swoop by taking a hard look at herself and what she really needed to do to be happy. 

Josie discusses the narratives we tell ourselves when it comes to our illnesses, why we struggle so much to just be happy, and why the path to healing is simpler than it seems. 

Josie Warren is an autoimmune and mental health expert whose life used to be defined by her autoimmune problems. By the time she was a teenager, she had anxiety, depression, rheumatoid arthritis, an eating disorder, and a drinking problem. 

In her darkest of days, she had become suicidal. 

After struggling for years with her mind and behaviors, Josie has completely resolved all of her addiction and mental health issues. Today, she is a responsible social drinker who is emotionally at peace. 

As a businesswoman, Josie uses her experience with addiction and her past challenges to help individuals emotionally heal as she has 

In today’s episode, we cover: 

• Josie’s struggle with autoimmune diseases, mental health illness, and addiction
• The connection between how autoimmune diseases and mental health diseases are healed

“The definition of sanity is to keep doing the same thing and think you're going to create a different outcome, but it's much easier to say that than it is to push through.” -Marc
