Grieving the loss of gluten sounds like an unusual concept, but for those diagnosed with celiac disease, the emotional journey is all too real. Imagine suddenly having to give up foods that have been a staple in your life, and the whirlwind of emotions that follow. This episode takes you through the often-overlooked emotional stages that accompany a celiac diagnosis.
You can expect to gain a deeper understanding of the five stages of grief when it comes to your new gluten free lifestyle: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Life changes dramatically when you're told to eliminate gluten, and these stages highlight the complexity of adjusting.
This episode not only acknowledges these feelings but also provides comfort and encouragement, reminding you that whatever emotions you're experiencing are normal and part of a journey of healing and growth.

Are you ready to be inspired by the power of resilience and determination? Meet Calli McPherson, a woman who turned her life-altering diagnosis of Celiac Disease into an opportunity to support others in a similar situation. During her pregnancy, she navigated her health challenges with courage and tenacity, leading to the inception of a unique online gift store that caters to those with gluten-free needs.
Calli's journey is as inspiring as it is unconventional. Launching her gluten-free gift business in the thick of a global pandemic, she masterfully balanced her entrepreneurial dreams with the responsibilities of mothering two young children. Despite the hurdles, she found that the pandemic served as a surprising catalyst for her business, with more people turning to online shopping for their needs. Calli's determination is a testament to how we can turn challenges into opportunities.
Living with Celiac Disease isn't easy, but Calli has found solace and support in the community of people who share her journey. She has effectively used social media to connect with others, providing a valuable resource to people navigating their own health challenges. Plus, she offers a little sweetener – a 15% discount on first orders from her store. Find the discount code in the episode.
Calli's story underpins the importance of supporting gluten-free businesses and is a beautiful example of how resilience and determination can create positive change in the face of adversity.
