THE OCTOBER SLIDE: When the Seasons Change, Our Bodies Feel It. ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒ•

Have you ever noticed that as the seasons begin to change, your chronic illness symptoms seem to get worse, even when you havenโ€™t necessarily done anything differently?

Thereโ€™s actually a name for this experience within the chronic illness community.

Itโ€™s called the October Slide. ๐Ÿ‚

For those of us living with conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), POTS/dysautonomia, MCAS, Multiple Sclerosis, and other chronic illnesses, the transition into fall can be especially challenging.

And itโ€™s not JUST about the colder weather.

Hereโ€™s what can happen as the seasons change:

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Temperature fluctuations: Our bodies may struggle to regulate temperature, especially when the autonomic nervous system is already working overtime.

๐ŸŒง๏ธ Changes in barometric pressure: Some people notice increased joint pain, headaches, migraines, and stiffness during weather changes.

๐ŸŒ™ Shorter days: Reduced daylight can disrupt our circadian rhythms, affecting sleep, energy, and mood.

๐Ÿง  Increased nervous system demands: When your body is already struggling to maintain balance, additional environmental changes can make symptom management more difficult.

๐Ÿชซ More fatigue and brain fog: For some of us, the seasonal transition seems to drain energy reserves that were already limited.

BUT HEREโ€™S ANOTHER INTERESTING PIECE OF THE PUZZLEโ€ฆ THE FULL MOON. ๐ŸŒ•

Have you ever noticed your chronic illness symptoms becoming more intense around a full moon?

Maybe your pain seems worse, your sleep becomes restless, your migraines increase, or your nervous system just feels like itโ€™s having a harder time regulating itself.

Thereโ€™s actually some interesting research behind the connection between lunar cycles and our biological rhythms.

Some studies have found that around the full moon, people may experience less deep sleep, shorter sleep duration, and changes in melatonin levels.

Now, think about what that could mean for someone whose body is ALREADY struggling to maintain balance.

๐Ÿง  Dysautonomia/POTS: Our autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions like heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature regulation. Poor sleep can aggravate autonomic symptoms, potentially making dizziness, palpitations, fatigue, and brain fog more difficult to manage.

๐Ÿ’ข EDS and chronic pain: Sleep plays an important role in pain regulation and muscle recovery. When restorative sleep is disrupted, pain sensitivity can increase, muscles may guard more, and an already exhausted body can feel even more overwhelmed.

๐Ÿ”ฅ MCAS and immune system regulation: Sleep and immune function are closely connected. Poor sleep may contribute to inflammatory stress indirectly making symptom management of MCAS more challenging.

โšก Multiple Sclerosis and neurological conditions: Fatigue, cognitive difficulties, pain, and temperature sensitivity can already place significant demands on the nervous system. Add disrupted sleep, and managing those symptoms may become even harder.

๐ŸŒ™ Circadian rhythm disruption: Our bodies rely on internal biological clocks to coordinate sleep, hormone release, temperature, and other functions. When those rhythms are disturbed, people living with complex chronic illnesses may have a harder time recovering and maintaining their usual baseline.

So could changes in sleep around a full moon contribute to worsening symptoms in someone whose body is already struggling?

Itโ€™s a possibility worth exploring, even though it hasnโ€™t been proven.

And when you combine potential sleep disruptions with the seasonal changes associated with the October Slide, itโ€™s understandable why some people might feel like their bodies are having an especially difficult time keeping up.

Living with chronic illness has taught me that sometimes itโ€™s not ONE major thing that causes a setback.

Sometimes itโ€™s a combination of smaller stressors that finally pushes an already overwhelmed system beyond what it can comfortably handle.

And THAT is why listening to our bodies and recognizing patterns matters so much.

So now Iโ€™m curiousโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ‚ Do you experience the October Slide?

๐ŸŒ• Have you noticed changes in your pain, sleep, migraines, fatigue, or other symptoms around a full moon?

Iโ€™d love to hear your experiences, because the more we talk about these patterns, the more opportunities we have to understand our bodies and advocate for ourselves.

๐Ÿฉต Invisible symptoms. Real impact. ๐Ÿฉต

A NEW CHAPTER FOR SOUL SEARCHERโ€™S!

Welcome to Soul Searcherโ€™s: Healing & Handmade!

To everyone who has supported my handmade jewelry business over the years, THANK YOU! Youโ€™ve helped me build something incredibly meaningful, I honestly couldnโ€™t have gotten this platform without all of you, and Iโ€™m so grateful youโ€™re here.

But during my most recent hiatus , as life has continued to unfold, so has my story.

Over the past several months, Iโ€™ve been sharing my journey through chronic illness, functional medicine, and life with multiple complex conditions through my page, Soul Searcherโ€™s: Healing Out Loud.

And somewhere along the way, I realized somethingโ€ฆ

My healing journey and my passion for creating handmade jewelry both originated from the very same story.

They share the same roots, meaning, and purpose. And I believe they deserve to share the same platform, where their stories can continue unfolding together.

So here we are!

Soul Searcherโ€™s: Healing & Handmade is now a space for chronic illness advocacy, functional medicine, raising awareness about invisible illnesses and dynamic disabilities, and sharing the realities of living with complex chronic conditions.

And donโ€™t worry, my love for handmade jewelry isnโ€™t going anywhere! Iโ€™ll continue creating meaningful pieces with intention whenever my body allows. ๐Ÿ’Ž

To those whoโ€™ve supported my jewelry journey from the beginning, thank you for growing with me.

And to those joining us from Healing Out Loud, welcome home!

Same girl. Same roots. Same story. One shared journey. ๐Ÿฉต

Hereโ€™s to healing out loud, creating with intention, celebrating the wins (big and small), and to embracing every chapter along the way๐Ÿฅ‚

GUYS. ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ˜ญ

ITโ€™S FINALLY LIVE.

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to sit down and share a little bit about who I am, how Soul Searcherโ€™s came to be, the journey that brought me here, and why I created Soul Searcherโ€™s: Healing Out Loud in the first place.

And nowโ€ฆ itโ€™s actually published. ๐Ÿฅน

There is something incredibly surreal about seeing pieces of your lifeโ€”the hard parts, the growth, the things youโ€™ve built, the things youโ€™re still working throughโ€”turned into a story that other people can read.

When I started Healing Out Loud, I wanted a place where I could document this chapter of my life honestly. Not just the pretty parts or the โ€œI overcame itโ€ parts, but the messy middle too. The appointments. The setbacks. The tiny wins. The learning. The rebuilding. And hopefully, somewhere along the way, help someone else who feels like theyโ€™re stuck in that same kind of limbo.

Getting to talk about that, along with Soul Searcherโ€™s Jewelry & Gifts and the journey that led me here, meant more to me than I think I realized at the time.

So yeahโ€ฆ this is a pretty exciting moment for me!!

Still kind of staring at it likeโ€ฆ holy s**t THATโ€™S ME. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚

Huge shoutout to the team at Canvas Rebel for reaching out to me, taking the time to talk, and for writing this incredible article about my work โ™ฅ๏ธ

Over the last several years, my body has been whispering that something wasnโ€™t right.

Over the last six monthsโ€ฆ it started screaming.

Between my car accident, my hospitalization, countless appointments, new diagnoses, and watching my health continue to decline, I finally heard the message loud and clear:

๐ˆ ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ก๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฆ๐›๐ž๐ซ ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ.

After years of feeling like I was fighting an uphill battle with my health and slowly losing confidence that Iโ€™d ever truly feel better, Iโ€™ve decided to make one of the biggest investments of my lifeโ€ฆ

An investment ๐ข๐ง ๐ฆ๐ž.

Iโ€™ve officially begun working with ๐ƒ๐ซ. ๐๐ž๐ง ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ž๐š๐ฆ ๐š๐ญ ๐…8 ๐–๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐‚๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐‚๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ๐š๐๐จ.

After reviewing hundreds of pages of my medical history, extensive lab work, and creating an individualized clinical analysis and treatment plan specifically for my body, Dr. Ben estimates that this will be about a 12-๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ก ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐ž๐ฒ.

This isnโ€™t simply taking a few supplements and hoping for the best.

Itโ€™s a complete lifestyle transformation.

โ€ฆand so much more, all tailored specifically to ๐ฆ๐ฒ body and ๐ฆ๐ฒ health history.

Reading through Dr. Benโ€™s individualized clinical analysis honestly brought me to tears.

Not because someone promised me a cure.

But because for the first time in a very long timeโ€ฆ I felt like someone was looking at ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฆ๐ž instead of treating every diagnosis like it lived in its own little box.

For the first time in yearsโ€ฆ

I donโ€™t just have another appointment.

I have a plan.

I have a direction.

And most importantlyโ€ฆ

๐ˆ ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ก๐จ๐ฉ๐ž.

But this isnโ€™t just for me.

Itโ€™s for my family.

These last six months have been incredibly hard on all of us.

Watching my health decline has been heartbreaking, but watching what itโ€™s done to the people I love has been even harder.

My youngest, especially, has had such a difficult time. Heโ€™s been emotional, frustrated, and angry that his mom is disabled at such a young age.

A few days ago, I sat him down and told him about this new doctor. I explained that he truly believes he can help me feel better.

My sweet boy immediately burst into tears.

He just kept looking at me and sayingโ€ฆ

โ€œ๐€๐œ๐ญ๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ?!โ€

Iโ€™ll never forget that moment.

It reminded me that this journey isnโ€™t just about giving myself another chanceโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s about giving my family hope again, too.

Because of that, I want to give this treatment plan absolutely everything I have.

That also means making one really difficult decision.

๐…๐จ๐ซ ๐ง๐จ๐ฐโ€ฆ

Iโ€™m putting away the wire, the crystals, and my jewelry tools.

๐’๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐’๐ž๐š๐ซ๐œ๐ก๐ž๐ซโ€™๐ฌ ๐‰๐ž๐ฐ๐ž๐ฅ๐ซ๐ฒ & ๐†๐ข๐Ÿ๐ญ๐ฌ isnโ€™t going anywhere and creating jewelry will always be one of the greatest passions of my life. But right now, every ounce of energy I have needs to go toward healing.

I truly believe that if I divide my time and energy between trying to build my business and trying to heal, Iโ€™ll end up doing neither very well. So for this season of life, Iโ€™m choosing to pour everything I have into my health.

My hope is that when these next 12 months are over, Iโ€™ll be in a better place than where Iโ€™m starting today.

And when that day comesโ€ฆ

Iโ€™ll happily pick my tools back up with a body thatโ€™s finally ready to create alongside my heart again. โ™ฅ๏ธ

Hereโ€™s to choosing hope.

Hereโ€™s to investing in my health.

Hereโ€™s to believing that maybeโ€ฆ just maybeโ€ฆ my best days arenโ€™t behind me after all.

One thing Iโ€™ve learned throughout this journey is that healing isnโ€™t always linear, and I know this next year will probably have both victories and setbacks. But I want to be transparent about all of it.

So, for those who are interested in following along, learning with me, or maybe even finding a little hope in your own health journey, Iโ€™m going to be creating a brand-new page dedicated entirely to documenting this experience.

Iโ€™ll be sharing the highs, the lows, what Iโ€™m learning, what seems to help, what doesnโ€™t, and everything in between. My hope is that whether youโ€™re navigating chronic illness yourself, caring for someone who is, or youโ€™re simply curious about this approach, youโ€™ll find something valuable in following along. (Iโ€™ll be working on making this new page tomorrow and will tag it in the comments below!)

Iโ€™m not sharing this because I think my journey will look like everyone elseโ€™s.

Iโ€™m sharing it because if thereโ€™s even one person out there whoโ€™s feeling as hopeless as I once didโ€ฆ

When people compliment one of my creations, they usually see copper, gemstones, and wire work.

What they donโ€™t always see is the story behind it.

People often ask me how I got into making jewelry.

The truth isโ€ฆ I didnโ€™t start because I was looking for a business.

I started because I was looking for hope.

Looking back, I truly believe Iโ€™ve always been a natural-born healer. Even as a child, I was drawn to caring for others. It has always felt like one of the deepest parts of who I am. Helping people wasnโ€™t something I choseโ€”it was something I felt called to do.

That calling eventually led me to become a licensed massage therapist, where I spent my time helping people heal, reduce their pain, and reconnect with their bodies. It wasnโ€™t just my careerโ€”it was my passion and my purpose.

Then my body began to turn on me.

Multiple Sclerosis. Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. POTS. Countless other diagnoses. Hospital stays. Surgeries. Medications. Specialists. The life I had worked so hard to build slowly slipped through my fingers.

Eventually, I had to walk away from the career I loved.

And honestlyโ€ฆ I grieved that loss.

Not just because I lost my career.

But because I felt like I had lost a part of who I was.

For someone who has always felt called to help others heal, losing the ability to do that in the way Iโ€™d always known was heartbreaking.

For a long time, I wondered if I would ever be able to help people again in a meaningful way.

Then one day, I picked up a piece of copper wire.

What started as wrapping gemstones quickly became so much more than jewelry.

It became therapy.

It became an outlet.

It became something I could still create on the days my body refused to cooperate.

And little by little, something unexpected happened.

I realized that although chronic illness had changed how I help peopleโ€ฆ it hadnโ€™t taken away why I wanted to help them.

Today, every piece I create is made with that same purpose.

I carefully choose every gemstone. I hand-wrap every design with intention. I pour pieces of my own journey into every bracelet, necklace, pair of earrings, cuff, hair pin, and suncatcher that leaves my workbench.

Because to meโ€ฆ

Theyโ€™re never just jewelry.

Theyโ€™re little reminders.

A reminder that you are stronger than you think.

A reminder to breathe.

To slow down.

To believe in yourself.

To remember that even when life feels impossibly hard, beauty can still be created.

One of the greatest lessons chronic illness has taught me is this:

Healing isnโ€™t always about becoming the person you were before. Sometimes itโ€™s about discovering the beauty, strength, and purpose in the person youโ€™re becoming.

Thatโ€™s what Soul Searcherโ€™s Jewelry & Gifts represents.

Not perfection.

Not pretending life isnโ€™t hard.

But choosing to create beauty anyway.

Choosing hope in the midst of all the chaos.

Because while I canโ€™t heal every person who wears one of my creationsโ€ฆ

I hope I can create something that reminds them they are resilient.

That they are worthy.

That they are not alone.

That no matter what season of life theyโ€™re walking throughโ€ฆ

Hope is never truly lost.

If one of my pieces brings someone even a small moment of peace, comfort, confidence, or hopeโ€ฆ

Then Iโ€™ve found my purpose all over again.

Thank you to every single person who has supported my little business. Whether youโ€™ve purchased a piece, shared a post, or simply encouraged me when I needed it mostโ€ฆ

Youโ€™ve helped turn one of the hardest chapters of my life into one filled with purpose.

From the bottom of my heartโ€ฆ

Thank you for allowing me to create for you.

Thank you for allowing a small piece of my story to become part of yours.

My hope is that when you wear one of my creations, you donโ€™t just see copper and gemstones.

I hope you see resilience.

I hope you see beauty born from adversity.

I hope you feel connected to something meaningful.

And above all, I hope youโ€™re reminded that no matter what youโ€™re facingโ€ฆ

Hope is never truly lost.

Handcrafted with love, intention, and a little piece of my heart, always. ๐Ÿ’œ
Happy Healing.

This gorgeous copper cuff is still looking for its forever home! Lovingly handcrafted from 99.99% pure bare copper, this one-of-a-kind bracelet is a wearable reminder of balance, strength, and connection.

Copper has been treasured for centuries for both its beauty and its traditional wellness benefits. Many people wear copper because itโ€™s believed to:

โœจ Support the bodyโ€™s natural healing processes
โœจ Help reduce inflammation and ease joint stiffness*
โœจ Promote healthy circulation
โœจ Encourage balance and grounding within the bodyโ€™s energy
โœจ Conduct and amplify energy, making it a favorite companion for spiritual practices and crystal healing
โœจ Foster a deeper connection to the Earthโ€™s stabilizing energy

I had every intention of hopping on here to show off these beautiful little earringsโ€ฆ but life apparently looked at my jewelry post and said, โ€œNope. Not today.โ€

Instead, Iโ€™m coming to you from the ER with yet another medical update.

Iโ€™m currently waiting to have my shoulder relocated under anesthesia because, as you can see from todayโ€™s X-ray, the head of my humerus has apparently decided itโ€™s no longer interested in staying where itโ€™s supposed to be. ๐Ÿ™„

And what traumatic event caused this, you ask?

The audacity of sleeping on my right side.

Thatโ€™s it. Thatโ€™s the crime. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
Thatโ€™s the joy of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

As if that wasnโ€™t enough excitement, Iโ€™m also new boot goofinโ€™ because I somehow managed to find the one and only hidden (3ft deep) hole in the ground at the park yesterday and stepped directly into it. Twisted my ankle, hit the ground, and apparently set off a chain reaction of orthopedic nonsense.

BUTโ€ฆ

There is a bright side to this post!

For the first time since my flare-up, I finally picked up my tools and wire again! I had to be patient with my hands and it definitely took a bit longer that it used to, but look what came from it!

These elegant little beauties feature 8mm Prehnite with Epidote beads wrapped in copper, accented with Smokey Quartz. Just look at those gorgeous Epidote inclusions and the subtle sparkle from the Smokey Quartz on the ear wires. ๐Ÿ˜

These beauties will be up on my website tomorrow 3pm PST!!

So, while my joints may be actively rebelling against me, at least my creativity decided to show back up and say hello ๐Ÿฅฐ

Medical update: Iโ€™m recovering, or at least trying to..

I keep having โ€œepisodesโ€ where my symptoms spike out of nowhere, and honestly the only thing thatโ€™s been preventing me from fully passing out unconscious lately is the fact that I now have my walker so I can immediately sit down when these symptoms come on.

Because of everything going on, my doctors currently have me wearing a 30 day telemetry reader (heart monitor) to try and figure out exactly whatโ€™s happening. Thatโ€™s the fancy thing you see on my chest in the photo ๐Ÿ˜‚

But, on a serious note, itโ€™s still been really scary and extremely unpredictable. Something as simple as just sitting at the edge of the bed trying to get my pants on caused my heart rate to shoot up to 165 bpmโ€ฆ and then at other times, when Iโ€™m just sitting down, quietly resting, it can suddenly drop down into the low 40s. My body constantly feels like itโ€™s struggling to regulate itself right now, and some days are definitely harder than others.

I did ge๏ฟผt a saline infusion the last week of April to help hydrate my body at a cellular level, and honestly it did seem to help with some of the syncope symptoms. After blood work came back showing that my dehydration was better after the infusion, and some other labs that showed that I do in fact have low blood volume, my doctor is now suggesting that we do saline infusions every two weeks for the next three months! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

I just gotta say I am so incredibly thankful for my P*P! After we discovered that the Complex Autonomic doctor she had referred me to was upfront and cash pay only, and that I would need nearly $10k๏ฟผ (just for the initial appointment, scans, bloodwork, travel, and lodging ๐Ÿ˜ณ) I told her it would take a miracle to get me over there.

Within the last two weeks, she has been educating herself endlessly on my condition so that she can treat me properly. I have never had a doctor go above and beyond for me the way she does nor have I ever had one that listens and is willing to investigate/educate herself even further.

As a chronically ill patient, who lives with these conditions day in and a day out, it is really something else to be finally treated as if I actually know something about my body and not like Iโ€™m just some crazy hypochondriac.

So, as of right now, ๏ฟผIโ€™m still just taking it one day at a time, trusting the process๏ฟผ, and trying to stay hopeful while we figure things out. Thank you to everyone who has checked in, supported us, and been patient with me while I navigate all of this. It truly means more than I can explain.

Much love and appreciationโ™ฅ๏ธ
