I 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!
