The Raelan Agle Podcast
Here you will find recovery stories, strategies, and resources for ME/CFS and Long Covid.
Raelan lived with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) for ten years before finally fully recovering. After countless fruitless doctors' visits and tens of thousands of dollars spent providing little relief from her illness, she eventually realized that she would have to look within herself and listen to her body to find her path back to health. And thankfully she did finally fully recover!
Since her full recovery about four years ago, Raelan has become passionate about spreading hope for others facing chronic illnesses such as ME/CFS, Long Covid, and Fibromyalgia. She is the author of Finding Freedom: Escaping from the Prison of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, has built a successful YouTube channel full of resources for health and healing, and designed online courses, accessible at raelanagle.com, to aid others on their journey towards health and happiness.

109: The Emotional Work That Leads to Chronic Illness Recovery (Nicole Sachs)
In this episode, therapist and bestselling author Nicole Sachs shares what chronic symptoms are really trying to tell us, and how to finally get free. We talk about symptom imperatives, emotional reservoirs, the protective role of pain, and why fear—not damage—keeps symptoms chronic.
