The Healing Power of Self-Compassion: Michal LeBaron's Journey

What happens when your body becomes a mystery, when doctors can’t explain your pain, and your own immune system turns against you? For Michal LeBaron, founder of Chronic Illness Solution, that wasn’t just a question—it was her reality.

Bedridden. Exhausted. Out of answers.

But what if healing didn’t come from the outside—not from another pill, protocol, or expert advice—but from within your own nervous system?

In this episode of Pivot Point: Strategy for Change, host Nik Michael sits down with Michal for an honest, eye-opening conversation about her extraordinary recovery from years of chronic illness. Faced with medical uncertainty, Michal made a radical leap: she learned to turn off her stress response and allow her body to do what it was designed to do—repair and heal.

Her story isn’t just about overcoming adversity. It’s about rediscovering the body’s innate ability to heal itself, and the moment she chose to trust it again.

Sometimes, the biggest pivot point is when you stop fighting your body—and start listening to it.
