067 Being a parent with a chronic illness

Hi Smiling Sonia here.

This is an audio journal where I share how I've overcome challenges to move from just living to striving with a chronic illness.

In 2013 I was eventually diagnosed with Mollaret's Meningitis. I have overcome 6 recurrent episodes of viral meningitis so far in my lifetime.

I got fed up of worrying every time I went off sick and returned to work early before I was fully recovered.

That changed when I built an emergency fund. Now I have financial stability and the peace of mind that I have enough money to cover emergencies and future financial goals.
