Show Notes

In today’s episode of Lupus Speaks, Shedrica Shant’e dives deep into the transformative power of community and connection in the new year. The holidays have passed, and as we embrace the fresh start of 2025, it’s time to reflect on the importance of surrounding ourselves with the right people who uplift, inspire, and support us.

Living with lupus or any chronic illness can sometimes feel isolating, but finding your tribe can make all the difference in how you navigate life’s challenges and celebrate your victories.

Join me as we discuss actionable tips for identifying and nurturing relationships that align with your values and goals. We’ll explore the power of boundaries, how to create spaces where you feel truly supported, and what to do when it’s time to build your own community from scratch.
