Longevity For The Longhaul

By: Dani Gillan
  • Summary

  • Welcome to the chaos and confusion of LongCOVID. I was infected in September 2020. This podcast is dedicated to sharing as many details as possible to find a common thread with the listeners. This episode is hard for me to listen to because I strive never to find myself in the same position. Like all of us living with LongCOVID, we struggle with a spectrum of symptoms varying in severity and frequency. I was a disabled mother, wife, retired nurse, and advocate. This is the first time in my life I could not envision my future. I felt powerless, confused engulfed in global pain. Absolutely alone, the doctors I trusted offered little to no guidance. I was so insecure. I have moved on now in so many ways. I’ve learned to disassociate from my symptoms. At times I cannot deny them. I’ve learned to live again rooted in ancestral living. How have I succeeded with pure desperation, intuition and determination. You too can learn to let your body lead. Find some comfort in not being alone. You are not crazy lazy or attention-seeking. You’ve found a friend and the beginning of a community. Welcome to Longevity for the Longhaul.

  • My Children My Champions
    Aug 4 2024

    This episode was meant to be a celebration. We completed the first season and we began to make so much progress as a family. My Children ranging from 10-to 23 shared their experience and their honesty brought me to tears. They were 6–19 when all of this began. Tune in and grab your tissues. Thank you for listening.

  • Turning The Page
    Jul 28 2024

    This is a solo podcast where I share with you a wealth of information and books that can be resources moving forward. Due to the limited information available the majority of these books predated the pandemic. Listening when I was only left with my hearing enabled me to find patterns throughout history, the correlations and connections create confidence. Objectivity and Multiple Frame Work empowered me to try to move forward. There isn’t a cure but things do have the potential get better. We are all on individual paths and we need each other and the support.
