Private Chef, Writer & Podcaster
I’ve spent my whole life being invited everywhere while secretly plotting my escape route to the nearest quiet corner with a book. Then sarcoidosis showed up, and suddenly everyone has Opinions about what “support” should look like. Here’s the thing: I don’t need a crowd. I need calm, a steady hand to hold, and enough peace to breathe.
Some mornings hit differently. You wake up, scan your body for complaints, remember everything you’ve been through with sarcoidosis… and then realize something unexpected: life is still showing up for you. Not perfectly. Not pain-free. But persistently, stubbornly, beautifully present. This is one of those mornings.
Two new podcast episodes explore living with sarcoidosis, invisible illness, and finding purpose when life looks smaller than expected. Honest reflections on chronic illness, meaning, and being unseen — now streaming on Thoughts While Surviving: Chronic Illness.
