A chronic illness can feel like betrayal. In this episode, Dayna Wylder reframes MS as a wake-up call, showing how her symptoms mirrored years of trauma, survival mode, and living disconnected from her body.
This conversation is for anyone navigating illness, grief, burnout, or numbness. You’ll hear how Dayna moved from fear to curiosity and rebuilt trust with her body through nervous system support, lifestyle changes, and the Five Koshas model of layered healing.
About the Guest:
Dayna Wylder is the author of Unlearned Disease: Relearn Well-Being. She shares her lived experience with MS and the healing framework that helped her reconnect with her body through the Five Koshas.
Key Takeaways:

Notice “escape patterns” (overwork, perfectionism, constant motion) as signals of disconnection.
-
Rebuild trust by treating your body like a partner: listen, then take one supportive action.
-
Shift from fear-based decisions to values-based decisions, even in uncertainty.
-
Use layered healing: physical care, breathwork/meditation, mindset rewiring, and emotional processing.
-
Ask: “What is this symptom trying to protect me from or point me toward?”
-
Reduce inputs that dysregulate you (poor sleep, inflammatory foods, constant screens) and track what improves symptoms.
