Chronic pain and fatigue test the soul and character. Especially if your family believes in straight shoulders and stif upper lips. Our guest Lynn Formesyn was misdiagnosed for 15 years and even had to undergo potentially unnecessary surgery on her spine. How do you create a life when nobody can see your illness?  

Holding her first child she realized biting away the pain or rebelling against her disease was not an option any longer. Choosing between sacrificing herself and not medicating, or not breastfeeding your newborn are hard decisions to make. How do allow your kids to be vulnerable when it's something you're learning yourself?  

Listen to this episode of Love Change if you care to find out how motherhood can instigate a journey towards selflove and purpose. Our guest Lynn is a journalist, writer and researcher by trade. Balancing these responsibilities while being a mother of two and being diagnosed with SpondyloArtritis is a great example of human resilience and will.
