Be "POTS"itive! - with Sarah Reid
HelseI help those living with chronic illnesses get the most out of life. Your illness doesn't define you - but it is a big part of your life. So I'm doing my best to help others, like me, who have a front-row seat on the struggle bus. I'm raising awareness about invisible and dynamic illnesses. And I'm equipping and encouraging my fellow spoonies to overcome internalized ableism and learn to put their health first. Together we can get the most out of life- even if that looks different than we envisioned. I’m not afraid to have hard conversations, and I look forward to having them with you!

From common metaphors like the Spoon Theory and Penny Theory to the often-overlooked Battery Life Theory, we explore how energy depletion affects daily life—and how different frameworks can help you better understand and communicate your limits.What You’ll Learn:The difference between Spoon Theory, Penny Theory, and Battery Life TheoryHow invisible activities—like digestion or even just breathing—can drain energyWhy seemingly simple tasks (like unloading the dishwasher or taking a shower) can feel overwhelmingHow mobility aids can help conserve energy for essential or meaningful tasksTakeaway:There’s no single “right” way to describe energy struggles with chronic illness—whether you relate more to spoons, pennies, or battery levels, the most important thing is finding a system that helps you advocate for your needs.
