Living with long Covid means explaining the same things again and again — what fatigue really is, why brain fog isn’t just forgetfulness, and why rest isn’t laziness. In this episode, Paul shares the things people with long Covid wish others understood, without having to repeat them every week.

I talk about unpredictable symptoms, cancelled plans, the emotional labour of keeping up appearances, and why recovery isn’t a neat, upward line. If you’re living with long Covid or supporting someone who is, this honest conversation is for you.

How do you rebuild a future when so much is uncertain? In this episode, I try and explain how I am coming to terms with chronic illness and what things might look like in the future. It is raw and unfiltered (even my dog Maisie makes a background appearance!).

In this episode, I reflect on buying and using my wheeled friends and the shock of how much they cost.
