Every other week (or so) I host an episode of Chronic Wellness Conversations on IG Live where I interview an author, thought leader or sick people. You can find these interviews on my reels here https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8ctCR_vo_9/ or on Facebook, here https://www.facebook.com/reel/757349676310780
My most recent guest was Sonya Huber. She's a very talented author who wrote this article about sex and chronic pain https://www.oprah.com/health_wellness/sex-life-with-chronic-pain_1
We had a really engaging conversation on the topic.
One of her books is called "Pain Woman Takes Your Keys and Other Essays From a Nervous System." I have her permission to read an excerpt from an essay from that book called "What Pain Wants."
The whole book is filled with Sonya's memoir in essay form. If you're longing to see your pain journey represented on the page, this has my highest recommendation. Especially because the book is essays, it's manageable to read in short bursts. Be sure to tune in to my Chronic Wellness Conversations where you can see interviews with authors like Sonya and others.

This is the Chronic Wellness Podcast. I'm Annette Leonard, speaker, coach, and sick person who believes that my illnesses do not define me. If health is the absence of disease and wellness is the presence of wholeness, then no matter what your disease status, we can work toward your wellness, your wholeness.
Whether or not you are ever "healthy" on paper, you can be well. Join me and others on the path back to wholeness at AnnetteLeonard.com. Whether you are a person experiencing chronic illness or are someone who loves or serves people with chronic illness I have great resources here on this channel or on my website for you.
