- Coping with Kids - Parenting with a Chronic Health Condition
Parenting is hard. Parenting with a chronic health condition? That’s a whole new level of complexity. In this episode, we dive into the messy, beautiful, and often exhausting reality of raising kids while managing an unpredictable body. From the guilt of missing out to the creative ways we adapt, we’re talking about the highs, the lows, and everything in between. We’ll also tackle one of the biggest questions: How do you talk to your kids about your condition? Whether you’re navigating fatigue, pain, or mobility challenges—or just trying to keep up with the chaos—this one’s for you.

47 min - Is Post-Traumatic Growth Really a Thing?
In this episode of But You Look So Good, hosts Sally and Seona explore the concept of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) and its relevance to individuals living with chronic health conditions. They discuss whether significant adversity, such as chronic illness, can genuinely lead to positive transformation, or if this idea imposes unrealistic expectations on those already facing ongoing struggles. The episode examines the scientific basis of PTG, critiques of the concept, and ways to approach personal growth without pressure.

55 min - How Do You Feel About... Labels?
Labels can be powerful—they help us find community, access support, and make sense of our experiences. But they can also feel limiting, overwhelming, or like they don’t quite fit. In this episode, we unpack the labels often attached to chronic illness and explore what they mean for our identity, self-perception, and interactions with the world. Do labels help us feel seen, or do they box us in? And what happens when the labels we’re given don’t align with how we see ourselves? Tune in as we navigate the complicated relationship between language and lived experience

54 min - Funny, Not Funny - Should We Just Be Laughing Through It All?
Humour can be a lifeline, a way to find light in the darkest moments—but is it always helpful? In this episode, Sally and Seona explore the complex relationship between humour and chronic illness. While research often labels humour as a maladaptive coping strategy, they challenge this notion, discussing its benefits for resilience, connection, and mental well-being. They also unpack the downsides—when humour becomes a mask for avoidance or dismisses real struggles. Through personal stories, psychological insights, and a few laughs along the way, they explore how to use humour in a way that supports, rather than suppresses, emotional health.
