Being Okay with Not Being Okay
Manage episode 386932099 series 3407225
As we journey together through the challenges of chronic illness, there's a recurring phrase that rings oh-so-very true — it's okay not to be okay. You've probably heard me chant this mantra on Instagram; in this empowering podcast, I bring the same spirit to uplift my beautiful Spoonie Sisters, who battle daily with various ailments. I speak candidly about the pain, the fatigue, and the emotional toll that comes with chronic illness. However, I also emphasize that your experiences are valid, your feelings hold importance, and it's perfectly okay to acknowledge that some days are harder than others.
The secret weapon here is self-care and I'm not talking about the occasional bubble bath or chocolate treat. I'm talking about serious, intentional self-care that forms a crucial part of managing your overall well-being. It's far from being selfish; it's about giving yourself permission to rest, recharge, and put your health above all else. So, grab a cup of something warm, find your coziest blanket, and join me as we explore what living with chronic illness truly means and how you can navigate it without losing yourself. And before we wrap up, remember, don't forget your spoon.
