My Chronic Illness Story: The Experiences that Shaped me and Why I Became a Mindset Coach
In episode #41 of the All-Star Mindset Podcast, host Justin Hebert shares the full story behind his own chronic illness — what life looked like before it, how it started, and why he's built the focus of his coaching around helping other people navigate the exact thing he's still living through. Justin walks through his symptoms, how something as normal as exercise became something his body couldn't tolerate anymore, and how it affected not just his physical health but his mental and emotional health, his relationships, and his finances. He breaks down the research behind why doctors dismissing symptoms causes real harm, what healthy people typically don't understand about chronic illness, and the data behind mindset coaching as more than just a feel-good idea. He shares 5 facts most people don't know about chronic illness, explains why pacing yourself matters more than pushing through, and gives his top tip for protecting your energy without feeling selfish about it. If you're living with chronic illness — diagnosed or not — and you're ready to stop just surviving and start actually managing your energy, this episode is for you.
