From pain to purpose – Stories from my healing journey
Welcome, dear one.
This is where my writing journey began.
I couldn’t find the words when I first got sick with Long Covid. I didn’t know how to name what was happening in my body—or to my soul. But as the world slowed down and my life changed shape, I found myself writing. Not to make sense of everything… but to stay connected to something real.
I started with raw blog posts on
www.daphneinstockings.com —where I let the truth spill out. The grief. The isolation. The quiet beauty that somehow kept showing up even in the hardest days. That blog gave me the space to be honest when the world didn’t yet understand Long Covid.
But slowly, something began to shift.
I realized that this illness wasn’t just about loss—it was also about awakening. About peeling back everything I thought I was supposed to be… and becoming something softer, wiser, truer.
That’s when Travel With Me Love was born.
Not to deny the darkness, but to walk beside it—hand in hand with light.
A space where joy could live alongside pain. Where hope wasn’t naive, but earned.
🌿 Today, I share most of my writing at www.daphnemutter.com, the home of my book Beyond Chronic Barriers. It’s where I speak about the deeper healing journey, integrating science, spirituality, and soul. But this page? This one holds the roots.
It holds the stories of a woman who fell apart… and began writing her way home.
If you’re navigating Long Covid or any life-altering health shift, let these stories remind you:
You are not alone. Your story matters. And even in the fog, there is still a path forward.
✨ You don’t have to be healed to begin. You only have to be honest.
With love and light,
Daphne
