Hi there – I’m Kyn. In 2015, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, an autoimmune condition that falls under the class of inflammatory bowel diseases and affects the colon. Coming to terms with the diagnosis was a monumental challenge, and grappling with the reality of living with the disease was even more harrowing. It shattered my world completely, imposing all kinds of limitations and distorting the vision I had for my life.

However, these limitations have also resulted in beauty, self-growth, and integrity in my life. They have spawned newfound creativity and curiosity. They have prompted me to seek out new ways of being and compelled me to challenge the status quo regarding how life should be lived.

Metamorphosis often begins where your comfort zone ends because it’s only when your house is in flames that you truly begin to ask the question: “What is my real home?”

This broken body has served me in the same way. As I witness its systemic breakdown through the grip of chronic illness, I have no choice but to ask, “What is my real Self?”

As my body breaks down, so do the illusions surrounding my identity.

That’s the essence of this newsletter. It’s about:

• The grueling yet gratifying work of tearing away the facades we wear and delving into the heart of who we truly are 
• Trusting the process, even when progress seems invisible 
• Shifting from a mindset of ‘doing’ to the transformative experience of ‘Being’ 
• Tapping into the hidden, sacred energy that helps us accomplish even more than we ever thought we could 
• Finding humor in the humility of being human!

Life with a chronic illness can truly be magical, but magic requires curiosity. Stay curious and embrace the Chronic Thrillness of it all.

Thanks for stopping by! Your interest in this newsletter means a lot to me. If you find resonance in these words, you may appreciate what lands in your email inbox.

With Love and Integrity,

Kyn
