Have you met Hillary Rubin yet? She is a blogger for Huffington Post, a yoga and personal empowerment expert, and our featured “real woman”. Hillary has committed her professional and personal life to empowering women to transform their troubled past into opportunities for personal growth and healing.
I recently spoke with Hillary and learned about her struggles, her triumphs and her passion to help others heal through personal transformation and self-empowerment. Here is a sneak preview of her story that she will share with us live in our on-line radio show on October 8th at 7:30 pm EST.
The tingling started in her left foot. Then it continued to her left arm and left breastplate. This was followed by weakness in the legs and numbness in both feet. These physical symptoms turned the simple act of walking into a trial, the discomfort akin to moving on pins and needles. At the time, Hillary didn’t know what was happening to her.
The diagnosis of multiple sclerosis initially left Hillary feeling angry, as if she’d been “given a sentence.” But she had two choices—either to be proactive or let her illness control her life. She embraced the former.
Hillary says she “took the invitation” and made a choice to learn more about her diagnosis, explore treatment options and live healthier. She began frequenting health food stores and talking to the vitamin specialists there; they recommended books on nutritional healing. Hillary says this led to a more internal journey: “I organically listened and decided, OK, now I get to dive in and educate myself.”
To find out how Hillary’s transformative commitment to healing on all levels has given her the freedom to manage her symptoms without medication, join us on October 8th at 7:30 pm EST. Hillary will be joined by Kat Ross, multiple sclerosis patient, and a member of a local chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
