May 18, 2022 Episode 47: Letting Go of The Old You
We all have an identity as a human being but that tends to shift after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. We talk about how we identified previously and how that has evolved us into who we are today. Sometimes clinging to past identities can keep us from stepping into a new version of ourselves that aligns with our health journey.

May 04, 2022 Episode 46: #AutoimmuneHealing or #ChronicallyIll?
Have you ever paid attention to the way you feel during and after your time on social media? Does it make you feel more empowered or more discouraged about your diagnosis? Social media can be a positive, uplifting, and resource-filled place, however most of us don't realize the opposite effect it often has on our mindset. We talk about the importance of curating what you see on your social media feed in order to support your healing journey.
