Debbie Emick is co-creator and blogger at gobucketyourself.com. She is co-host of the One Life. Live It! podcast. She lives on the planes of southeastern Colorado with her husband, two daughters, Denali the dog, and her six chickens. When she’s not traveling to the mountains, the beach, or Spanish-speaking countries, you’ll find her there, in her sunroom or on her back porch sipping hot tea.

The Other Side of Perfect is a brutally honest and revealing peek into the life of a woman whose multiple diagnoses and bleak prognosis would be the surprising source of her ultimate liberation. After trying everything she knew to recover from the physical damage of autoimmune diseases--medication, nutrition, fitness, reducing stress--Debbie found her health continuing to deteriorate and in the deepest depths of depression she’d ever experienced. In her desperate attempt to claw her way out of hopelessness, this people-pleasing perfectionist stumbled upon her greatest source of self-healing yet--resurrecting the past to heal the future.

She’ll lead you through how following her intuition allowed her to finally process the repressed trauma of her childhood, ultimately healing her mind and body at once. Her story will show you that it was only through stripping away all the protections she surrounded herself in, to expose her most authentic, vulnerable self, that she was able to move beyond superficial health and toward something more meaningful and sustainable. Debbie takes us along with her in her own self-discovery that her adversity was her greatest gift, pointing the way to her freedom all along.

I am a survivor of multiple chronic illnesses/autoimmune diseases (MCTD, Relapsing Polychondritis, Lupus, Pulmonary Hypertension, +more) that took the long road to learn my path to healing was through accessing the mind-body connection to disease and health. Through addressing and releasing repressed emotions and past trauma, I’m able to experience a life of greater health, ease, and fulfillment by living out my authentic purpose.

"I have a unique, first-hand perspective in discussing:

*The trauma and perceived helplessness of diagnoses of rare and serious diseases with poor prognoses.

*Trial and error navigating the more superficial aspects of healing--advice from medical experts, pharmaceutical interventions, etc.

*Coming to a more holistic approach toward healing (nutrition/AIP, exercise, etc.) that finally led to an internal search for mental/emotional health (meditation, energy/somatic work, calming my nervous system, etc.), ultimately creating less physical illness and pain.

*Learning to move beyond the coping mechanisms and personality traits (like perfectionism and people-pleasing) I’d attached to for survival that no longer served me or my health.

*Living a less fearful life from a place of power that allows me to create the life I desire today, regardless of diagnoses, because none of us have a guarantee of tomorrow."
