In Part 2 of our conversation with Courtney Runyon, we explore
how over-giving, emotional suppression, and relational stress
contributed to a life-altering autoimmune health crisis—and how,
just days after ending a relationship defined by those patterns,
her body began to heal.
Courtney shares how empathy, when unboundaried, can drive
inflammation—and how reclaiming agency over your energy can shift
everything. We talk about the science of stress and the nervous
system, the emotional roots of chronic illness, and how tools like
psychedelics supported her recovery.
This is a conversation about what happens when your body says what
you won’t—and how healing begins the moment you start to
listen.
