When Chronic Illness Changes Who I Thought I Was

Episode Artwork

A new episode of A Body Rebels: A Chronic Illness Podcast is now available.

In this episode, I’m talking about the grief of missing who I used to be before chronic illness changed my body, my confidence, and the way I moved through life. I’m reflecting on identity, acceptance, and the quiet habit of measuring today’s body against yesterday’s freedom. Through a memory from Sedona, Arizona, I revisit a moment when I had to face what I’d lost, what I was still carrying, and how hard it can be to care for the person who remains.

This podcast is narrated using an AI voice. The words, reflections, and lived experience are my own.
