In this episode, we sit down with Allison Sky, singer‑songwriter, chronic Lyme survivor, and mother, to listen to her remarkable story about illness, recovery, and reclaiming creativity.

After decades of unexplained symptoms she was diagnosed with chronic Lyme Disease at 23 and found life-changing results with a treatment called LymeStop. Allison’s upcoming EP Behind This Smile turns postpartum struggle, brain fog, and long seasons of doubt into songs of resilience and hope.

Key themes:

Chronic Lyme disease: Diagnosis, misdiagnosis, and the limits of standard testing
LymeStop recovery – an alternative treatment that helped clear co‑infections
Mental health & postpartum depression: Navigating motherhood while healing, brain fog, anxiety, depression, and their physical roots
Music as medicine: Songwriting, performance, and using art to process trauma
Performance anxiety & the inner critic: Practical mindset shifts for artists
“Move out of your own way”: Overcoming victim thinking and taking small, brave actions
Resilience & purpose: Turning hardship into creative momentum and community

Tune in for an honest, hopeful conversation that reminds us hard times can change us for the better — and that taking the next small step matters. Find Allison at allisonskymusic.com or as Allison Sky Music on all social platforms. ------------------------------
