Against The Odds Motivational Podcast / Surviving ME - How Chronic Fatigue Claimed 30 Years for Dr Rebecca Williams Dinsdale

Have you ever been robbed of time?

In this series, Author and life coach, Dr Rebecca Williams Dinsdale discusses her endless fight against the debilitating condition, myalgic encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue (ME), and how it claimed 30 years of her life with little help from medical professionals.


Her experience is a shining testament of the power of the human spirit in her ability to find strength in adversity amid a perpetual backdrop of weariness and despair. 


Through her own purpose built Life Joy programme and personal experience, Rebecca is now supporting others in similar situations by helping them find life-changing solutions to their own suffering.
