58. From Housebound to Managing 8-hour Market Days: A TSP Transformation Story

The Spoonie Podcast

In this powerful episode, we sit down with a TSP alum, Shiloh Gray, who went from barely making it through the day to managing markets, getting married, and living in alignment with their body. Through the lens of their deeply personal story, they share what it's really like to live with a chronic illness—and how learning to pace, regulate their nervous system, and receive support changed everything.Whether you're currently navigating chronic fatigue, burnout, or invisible illness—or you support someone who is—this episode is filled with insights, inspiration, and hard-won wisdom about what true healing looks like.

In this episode, we explore:

• What pacing actually looks like (and why it’s misunderstood)
• The role of nervous system regulation in chronic illness recovery
• How small wins (like sitting upright or walking to the mailbox) become life-changing
• The emotional reality of living with invisible illness
• The life milestones they never thought were possible—and how they made them happen
• Why community and accountability are essential for long-term healing

Perfect for listeners who are:

• Living with ME/CFS, long COVID, or chronic fatigue
• Experiencing burnout, adrenal issues, or nervous system dysregulation
• Curious about pacing, nervous system healing, or TSP (The Support Program)
• Looking for real, hopeful stories of transformation
