Aoife Madden is an inspiring young woman who is a teacher and runs a blog called B is for bladder. Although Aoife may look like a normal 20 something year old but she has a hidden disability and has used a catheter for the last 10 years. In today’s episode we speak about her journey to being diagnosed with a chronic illness and how she has coped with it through her life.

Aoife is such an amazingly positive person and sees herself as enabled not disabled. Her blog only started a few months ago and Aoife is already supporting other young people diagnosed with a chronic illness by sharing her story.

We are thrilled she is a member of Inspire and Connect and has joined us in today’s episode to share her story with us
