Life Doesn’t Stop When You’re Diagnosed: Holistic Healing, Chronic Illness & Inner Power (with Dani Whelly)
Mon Jan 26 2026
In this episode of The Akashic Musings Podcast, I’m joined by Dani Whelly for an expansive conversation about chronic illness, holistic healing, and the moment life actually begins, when you stop living on autopilot and start listening inward.
There’s no ceiling to feeling your happiest, healthiest, and most passionate. Yet so many of us are taught to shrink our expectations of what’s possible in the body.
The answer for physical healing is inside of you. It’s about shifting the messages your body is giving you into power, with patience and grace. Chronic illness is often a depressed state interlaced with people pleasing and accommodation, and this episode is an invitation to reclaim yourself on every level: physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually.
We explore how Reiki can be a powerful gateway into deeper healing, how the nervous system learns through repetition, and how small wins stretch the mind, body, and soul. You’ll also hear why you can trust medical expertise while still advocating for yourself, honoring intuition, and exploring spirituality, energy healing, and holistic health.
Life doesn’t stop when you realize you’re sick. It starts.
