In this episode, I'm joined by my husband, Austin, and we share our experiences with having COVID. Over a month ago we both tested positive and we talk about how we got it, what our symptoms were like, what the arc of illness was like for us.

It is important to note that this is just our story. We know there are very many different experiences in the realm of this disease. Nothing shared in this episode is medical advice, I always want you to check with your provider for what is right for you.
