Learning to live with ease
You know you have chronic illness when even in your dreams you are explaining it to people.

I have zero interest in telling other people how to be well. I want people to feel seen for not being well. That Wellness doesn't look one way and isn't an achievement, but a space for living in the current reality.

Introducing me - a writer who believes sometimes wellness looks like watching Bravo shows while managing chronic illness. I have no perfect answers, just real conversations about health, motherhood, and finding joy in the midst of it all. Join me?

"Living with chronic illness means reconciling who I was and who I thought I'd be with who I am now."

When chronic illness reshapes your identity as a mother, how do you cope with the loss of who you thought you'd be?

I'm sharing my journey in my latest Substack.

Bad chronic illness days when you were excited for a day you mapped out in your head and can then do none of it is so frustrating.

I am worth people’s time, attention, and money.

It’s not unreasonable for me to think I could grow a platform that could make a difference and support my family.

It’s not just why not me, it’s if not me then who?

I have the skills, energy, and drive. It’s not just reasonable, it’s smart.

Give yourself time for growth, give yourself time for growth, give yourself time for growth…

I have to keep reminding myself that starting from zero means you may be at zero for a while.

Doesn’t mean giving up (specifically looking at here and my Substack). But still so hard to not feel it deeply

Stuff can have lots of baggage - whether you have it or not. Emotions, financial concerns, and questions of ability. I talk baby stuff and what it means in today’s post.

My Son had a “Snow Day” (aka extreme cold) today. I said we are going to treat it like a special day where as long as he isn’t a jerk, he can play video games and watch TV as much as he wants.

In related news, I’ve had my most productive day in months.

Taking all the wins and not judging myself.

Welp, I wasn’t sure I was going to have ideas of what to post about or write on my new Substack… day 2 and I already have 2 future pieces scheduled to send out. Hopefully that is a good indicator.

I am, having my most successful video in the week before TikTok gets banned, kind of lucky.

Having serious writers block on this and all apps.

What’s your go to for getting ideas to flow?

Am I sick or is this just chronic illness? Both? Does it matter?

On repeat….

Wicked was so enthralling, engrossing, and impactful that I’m having a chronic illness flare up day the day after I saw it.

It’s a very weird and specific compliment.

Is there a chronic illness creator starter pack?

Currently online clothes “shopping”… I’m pregnant and have nowhere to go so will not be purchasing any new fancy clothes but… in my mind I’m a sophisticated woman about town who definitely has a place to wear a sequence gown.

What a time to be alive.
RHOP, RHOBH and RHOSLC and RHOC are firing all cylinders. We are so fucking back. This is proof to trust in the Bravo gods.

Ok I’m feeling overwhelmed by finding my people:

Overwhelmed Moms
Chronically ill baddies
Non Tradwife home content
Bravo lovers
Gigglers
Mental Health Advocates
Woo Adjacent Tarot folx

Help me find you!

Let’s be honest, I’m posting to get this out of the way so I stop overthinking what my first one will be.
