Ep. 30: Sacred Surrender: On Crohn's, Belonging, and Finding God with Ann Jarvis
Description
Join us in this episode of the Sacred Illness™ Podcast as host Erin welcomes Ann Jarvis from Ottawa, Canada.
Both Erin and Ann share their experiences living with Crohn's disease and their healing journeys that began with this diagnosis.
Ann discusses her transformative path to healing, emphasizing the significance of surrender and faith. She opens up about her mystical experiences, the impact of early life events, and the importance of self-acceptance.
Listen in to explore how autoimmune diseases can reflect deeply held beliefs and the profound healing that can come from embracing the notion of surrender.
Enjoy!
From the video: "It seems to me that the whole point of this human experiment is to reconcile, bring together the two, and that perhaps in the autoimmune soul, that is a more prescient issue."
