  • Stefanie the Arthritis Coach

    On today's episode, I sit down to chat with Stefanie, The Rheumatoid Arthritis Coach, to discuss her journey with Rheumatoid Arthritis and how it brought her to help others with the same challenges she has had. Be sure to bring a pen and paper to jot down her top things in her spoonie tool kit because you will want to try them for yourself!

    Stefanie, the Rheumatoid Arthritis Coach, is a coach for people with RA! "Yes– this is what I do. I have dedicated my life to helping people with rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pain, and other autoimmune conditions live more productive, fulfilling lives while better managing their symptoms. I am also a family nurse practitioner and a patient with RA. I’m not a rheumatologist or physician, but I know a lot about rheumatoid arthritis."

    RA changes lives, 

    but it doesn't have to change YOU!

  • Living Lupus Together with Rekha
    Listen to this episode as I sit down to chat with Rekha about her journey with Lupus.


    Lupus is a disease that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your own tissues and organs (autoimmune disease). Inflammation caused by Lupus can affect many different body systems — including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs.

    Lupus can be difficult to diagnose because its signs and symptoms often mimic those of other ailments. The most distinctive sign of Lupus — a facial rash resembling a butterfly's wings unfolding across both cheeks — occurs in many but not all cases of Lupus.

    Some people are born with a tendency toward developing Lupus, which may be triggered by infections, certain drugs, or even sunlight. While there's no cure for Lupus, treatments can help control symptoms.


    Rekha Sreedhara is a chronic illness warrior and advocate. She was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus in 2001. Since then, she has been diagnosed with cutaneous lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis as well as two rare diseases, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

    Rekha works as a public health consultant specializing in substance use disorders. She resides in Massachusetts with her husband and three cats. In her spare time, Rekha loves to binge-watch shows; if you need a recommendation, she's your girl. She also enjoys traveling and has visited more than ten countries.

  • Treatments Gone Wrong

    My name is Jennifer, and I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 32 after a year of doctors and treatments trying to figure out my chronic pain. 

    I had multiple allergic reactions, one resulting in pustular psoriasis altering my life forward and adding a new lifelong diagnosis.

    I strive to be the support for newly diagnosed or struggling warriors the way I desperately needed and did not have.
