A new episode of A Body Rebels: A Chronic Illness Podcast is now available.
I’m sharing what happened when a limping black bear crossed the road in front of me on a quiet drive through rural Connecticut. Watching that injured animal continue into the woods brought my own experience with chronic illness into sharper focus. I’ve spent years measuring strength by what I could once do, how quickly I could move, and how well I could hide the struggle. That bear gave me another way to look at determination, physical limitations, acceptance, and the careful steps required to keep living in a body that has changed.
This podcast is narrated using an AI voice. The words, reflections, and lived experience are my own.
