Doctors told her it would only get worse.But after hearing my episode on Darling, Shine!, Niamh decided to try something different. Breathwork, gratitude, anti-inflammatory foods, cold therapy – she took action, one step at a time.Fast forward two years: her arthritis is in remission, she’s off all medication, and she’s living a life she once thought was impossible.This conversation is a raw, emotional, and inspiring look into what can happen when you commit to healing – even just 1% a day. It's about hope, personal power, and the ripple effect of sharing stories.We talk about:Her journey through chronic illness and mental health strugglesDiscovering the 1% Good Club and breathworkHow small daily actions sparked massive transformationGetting her life back – from walking again to studying and travellingWhy community, mindset, and self-care changed everythingThis one will move you.
