In this episode of Long COVID MD, Dr. Zeest Khan discusses the financial challenges faced by individuals with long COVID and chronic illnesses. She interviews Kira Stoops, a writer and advocate, who shares her personal journey with chronic illness, the importance of asking for help, and the value of building community. They explore the realities of managing finances while living with a disability, the stigma around seeking assistance, and the tools that can aid in adapting to new life circumstances. Kira emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and the need to cut oneself some slack while navigating these challenges.
