Episode 26: Welcome back to You Are the Magic Pill, I’m your host Victoria. I’m excited because I have a friend on with me today. I met her in a Vitiligo group that I belonged to, her name is Danielle Wheeler and she’s going to share with you a little bit about her journey with the Vitiligo, making it relatable to anybody that struggles with confidence or self-esteem or anything like that as well. We’re going to share our stories and have a great conversation about Vitiligo and her children’s book called ‘I’ve Got Spots’.

Listen in…

IN THIS EPISODE:

•   Okay, and at that point, it was literally just a couple of spots again, the armpit and on my hands, and we’re about to move. And so I was like, Yeah, sure, okay, whatever. And I’m not like a medicine person, I don’t even like taking ibuprofen, so putting groups and creams on my skin. (2:37)

•   They can get it at 60, and it can start with one spot and it never moves and it stays the same for years before it rapidly spreads and it’s crazy. It’s Vitiligo Awareness Month, and I’ve been going back through photos and it’s crazy to see photos of myself, even like six years ago, even from last year, my patterns have changed so much even in a year. And then I think is what’s interesting is then the part with no pigment, then we’ll start getting pigment in it, I feel like when I get the Sun, which is interesting.  (5:44)

•   I like that because one thing you said about the reason why you wrote the book is to bring awareness, especially even for kids. Because when I was a child, there wasn’t anything like that, so I thought there’s something really wrong with me, and so it definitely may be even more insecure. But now that you have such a cute Book out there to explain it, even children that don’t have it, parents buying that book to allow them to be able to bring awareness to their child.  (9:01)

•   No matter what your journey is, no matter what you’ve created in your reality that it’s there for a reason. Once you can step outside of thinking it’s so wrong and step outside of that and realize, it’s actually so right. And it’s exactly what you needed to do. Write a book or whatever it is that you are called to do. What you are inspired to do?  (26:06)
