Ilana Estelle grew up not knowing she had been born with cerebral
palsy, and it took forty-six years for her to find out. With work
on herself, from the point of her cerebral palsy diagnosis, it
would go on to take her until her fifties, to get her autism
diagnosis. Ilana's journey from angry, confused child to the 'real'
her took enormous inner strength and courage. Then the global
pandemic struck. In The Covid Years: A Story, Ilana shares her
overwhelming physical and mental struggles within the chaos of the
pandemic. Navigating the daily turbulence and ever-changing rules
and restrictions, Ilana explains how these things jarred with her
physical, mental, and emotional needs leaving her constantly out of
control and panicked. Locked down and frightened for her life,
Ilana turned once again to writing, a process that helped her cope
and reach out beyond life, within her 'four walls'. The Covid Years
shows how one woman learned to deal with stress, anxiety, and
on-going self-isolation through introspection and the healing power
of words, and a determination to reconnect to the outside world. A
must-read for anyone wanting to shed light on their own personal
journey through Covid-19. AUTHOR: Ilana's cerebral palsy diagnosis
was hidden from her until the age of forty-six. That diagnosis was
a lifechanging moment that allowed Ilana to look at her life
experiences differently. Months after her diagnosis, she set up her
website The CP Diary. Ilana spends her days writing and blogging
about things that contribute to her health and wellbeing. She uses
her experiences to write, bringing clarity into her life. She
writes about health and wellbeing, advocating positivity, empathy
and understanding through her blog, and across social media. Ilana
who is passionate about the environment and is an animal advocate,
lives with her husband in Yorkshire. When she is not writing, Ilana
enjoys days out exploring the beautiful north Yorkshire
countryside. This is her third book.

calm. This book will help you to: - Improve emotional balance and
wellness - Boost confidence and self-esteem - Stay self-aware,

Living with cerebral palsy is enormously difficult. But what if you
never knew you had it? This is the incredible story of Ilana
Stankler. Born the second of premature twins, an hour apart, from a
young age Ilana knew she was different, but for all the wrong
reasons. A child of the 60s, Ilana experienced first-hand the way
that disability was, at the time, so often brushed under the
carpet, not spoken about. Her constant physical and mental
struggles made her feel isolated, alone, frustrated, and
misunderstood... and it took 46 years for her to find out why. Part
memoir, part motivational guide, Cerebral Palsy: My story is
Ilana's open and honest journey from an angry, confused child,
knowing something was wrong, not knowing what was wrong, what her
disability was, or that there was a diagnosis - to the `real' her -
a courageous woman using her experiences and lessons to create
inspiring messages about mental and physical health, resilience and
change.
