Rising from the Ashes on Friday the 13th…

The Next Chapter Starts NOW

🌿 A Warrior Story: Rising from the Ashes on Friday the 13th

On a day often thought to be unlucky, a courageous woman began a new chapter—her healing journey—with The Lyday Center. For her, Friday the 13th became a date of transformation, reclaiming truth from years of misdiagnosis, gaslighting, and invisible suffering.

For most of her life, she was told it was “all in her head.” Persistent fatigue, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, bladder pain, insomnia, and air hunger were minimized or misattributed to anxiety. She was prescribed antidepressants, dismissed by doctors, and left to navigate her unraveling body on her own.

But she knew the truth: this was biological.

Her symptoms were not imagined. They were the result of tickborne infections, mold toxicity, and neuroinflammation—a perfect storm that no one had properly named until now. Lyme disease. Babesia. Bartonella. Mold exposure. MCAS. She had it all, and still, she rose.

Her story is steeped in resilience—marked by early trauma, chronic illness, and the weight of family dysfunction. Yet through it all, she became her own healer, advocate, and researcher. She chased answers, not labels. She sought root cause, not symptom suppression. And she never stopped believing there was more to the story than what she’d been told.

She found TLC through the ILADS website, guided by the belief that something deeper was happening in her body. That belief led her to us—where her symptoms were not dismissed, but validated. Where her trauma was not silenced, but held. And where her body was not treated like a battlefield, but a sacred map to healing.

That Friday the 13th marked her turning point.

She walked in exhausted, but not defeated.

She walked in uncertain, but still hoping.

She walked in alone—but not for long.

Now, she is walking toward a future of integration, peace, and empowerment.

🧠 The Biological Roots of Her Symptoms:

• Panic, insomnia, air hunger = Babesia, mold, MCAS

• OCD and health anxiety = Bartonella + trauma-driven neural loops

• Fatigue, numbness, suicidal despair = Neuroinflammation + chronic immune activation

• Cycle-related mood crashes = Hormone disruption, iron-deficiency, and mitochondrial exhaustion

🌀 Her Strengths:

• Unshakable intuition

• Type-A determination with a healer’s heart

• Deeply spiritual, energetically attuned

• Trauma-informed and fiercely self-aware

• The courage to set boundaries and claim space

✨ What She Believed:

“If I just get quiet and ask to be led… something will show me the way.”

And it did. She arrived on the exact day she was meant to. Her healing story is no longer a mystery. It's a reclamation. A sacred remembering.

She is not “just anxious.”
She is not “too sensitive.”
She is not broken.

She is a warrior. And her healing has officially begun.

📍 How She Found TLC:
Through ILADS. Through trust. Through divine timing.

🦋 We walk beside her now—toward restoration, renewal, and radiant health.
