<p>I recorded this episode in one take, and as I mention several times (I tend to repeat myself, SORRY!), I think it's crucial to do this podcast like I do life.  Raw. Unscripted. Imperfect.  This episode features a trigger warning for medical terms and assault so please take that to mind before listening. </p>

Health journey, part 1.

My name is Jessica. Jess for short. I'm a 45-year-old writer, traveler, educator, Lit fan, advocate crisis volunteer, sister, daughter,true crime lover, friend, cat mom....and I'm sick. 

When I set out to create a podcast, I knew I wanted to talk about life with chronic illness, but I had NO idea which direction I wanted it to take. I still don't. I create outlines of scenarios and stories and conversations in my head as a base, and instead, I take twists and turns and back roads and rabbit holes in every which way to get to the point of my story. But that's life, isn't it?
