Ep 118. "Remission" vs "healed", stepping away from the chronic illness label
Episode 118
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026

In this episode of IC You, I sit down with Faith Ashenden to talk about mind body healing, neuroplasticity, and how our response to symptoms can shape the healing process. Faith shares her story of living with chronic illness for a decade before discovering subconscious and nervous system work that helped her recover.We discuss her recent UTI experience and why it felt like a non event, which leads into a deeper conversation about fear, identity, and the meaning we attach to flares. Faith explains how thoughts influence neurochemicals in the body, why chronic stress keeps the nervous system stuck in survival mode, and why healing often requires stepping away from the “chronically ill” identity.We also share simple, realistic ways to support your nervous system day to day, from setting phone boundaries to focusing on presence rather than perfect routines. If you want to connect with Faith or explore her work, her links are in the episode description.WORK WITH FAITH:Faith's websiteFollow Faith on InstagramWORK WITH CALLIE:Watch my FREE master classJoin Road To Remission Join Road To Remission Self-Study (men welcome)Book a 1:1 call with me (limited time offer)CALLIE'S SOCIALS:Follow me on InstagramFollow me on TiktokFollow my Youtube channel
