Leela's Recovery Story: from NASA Scientist to finding Joy in Nature and the Everyday

Thanks for following the Long Covid Hope Podcast, the podcast that tells the more hopeful stories of those with Long Covid. In this episode, Sarah is joined by Leela O'Brien, a NASA scientist and AI engineer, who was floored by severe LC that that significantly impaired her gross motor and cognitive function. After a grueling start to her illness, Leela describes how she found that seeking her joy no matter what, and viewing being in nature as a sanctuary was essential to her healing. She describes the importance of meditation and how Joe Dispenza's guided meditations in particular were a lifeline to her. Fortunately, whilst not fully recovered as she still has a few lingering tremors etc, Leela has recovered to the capacity that she now assists others with their healing journeys. She articulates the explorer mindset she uses with her clients and her Four C's concept of Curiosity, Creativity, Courage and Connection.

Alisha's Full Recovery Story: Fatigue, Mind-Body Connection and Reiki

In this episode, Sarah is joined by Alisha Braswell to hear about her full recovery story from Long Covid. From three years' sick to now helping others with Long Covid - this is an unmissable episode! Alisha describes her journey from getting sick in 2021, to a re-infection making the Long Covid worse the following year. We discuss various interventions that were not too helpful, before Alisha describes her turning point was when she discovered the TMS mind-body work of Dr. Sarno, Dr. Howard Schubiner and Rebecca Tolin, and a book by Louise Hay.

George's Full Recovery: Four Years of Long Covid then 2,650km 'End to End' Walk

Welcome to Season 4 of the Long Covid Hope Podcast. We are back with a bang, with a truly incredible interview with George Brill, a first waver who recently experienced full recovery from Long Covid after 4-5 years. In this episode, George describes his personal experience with Long Covid, from a place of very high fitness and activity to full bed rest. He describes his research-focussed way of approaching the illness, and how he has eased back into his PhD studies and later physical activity through data and analysis. And then, we discuss his absolutely incredible return to full health, with his sponsored 'End to End' walk for the Long Covid Support charity. Not for mere mortals - this walk is 2,650km long (1,646 miles) and obviously Sarah asks him quite a few questions on how he accomplished this insane feat! Truly this story is an incredible one - and clear to all that full recovery is possible at any stage. Keep the hope alive.

Giorgia

Welcome to the final episode of Season 3 of the Long Covid Hope Podcast! In this episode, we are joined by Giorgia Lupi, an award winning Italian information designer and partner at a NYC design firm Pentagram. Giorgia caught Covid in March 2020 and developed Long Covid, which worsened after vaccinations and also a reinfection in 2022.


Giorgia has painstaking recorded all of the data around her symptoms and recovery journey, which formed the basis of the incredible Op Ed for the New York Times she did, 'My Life with Long Covid' covering 1374 days of Long Covid - and becoming a celebrity in long hauler circles in the same moment! She has since recovered a great deal and is sharing her recovery story with me in this episode. You can also find her discussing this in her recent TED Talk 'What Long Covid Taught me about Life (And Data)'.


This episode is also infused with Reiki from Sarah. If you are interested and would like to accept the healing, simply state out loud that you welcome the healing energy. If not, never mind!

Dr Raven Baxter

Let's start Season 3 with a bang with a very exciting guest!

In this episode, we have the wonderful and brilliant Dr Raven Baxter, aka Raven the Science Maven joining the Long Covid Hope Podcast. Raven talks about her full recovery from Long Covid, how it took a lot longer to cognitively than previously discussed and what she used to get herself back to where she was pre-Covid.

We talk about so many important issues, such as Raven's recent new job at Mount Sinai using her skills to help other long haulers as a health communicator, as well as the inequalities facing people of colour in healthcare.

Unfortunately, Raven was reinfected during this episode, but insisted on still appearing (and despite Sarah's many offers of rescheduling!) She is now back to full health, thankfully!

So here's an update from Theresa from Season 1, about what her life is like nearly two years since her recovery and we last spoke with her. Theresa explains how her life is different from it was before she was sick, and how she is embracing restful practices over the 'publish or perish' toxic culture within academia.
