My Spoonie Sisters

Andi a 42-year-old Holistic Wellness Practitioner. She is passionate about helping women find their happiness!

Let's start here: between the ages of 14 and now, she was diagnosed with what she refers to as autoimmune mayhem (MS, SLE, RA, POTS, Fibro ). "Every day, there is something going haywire in my body & it's always an adventure to figure out which system is causing it."

"My life changed on March 10, 2020, when I suffered a sudden cardiac arrest at work. (I was out for 34 mins)
Recovery taught me that prior to the "incident," I was "too busy" actually to enjoy life. I wasn't making memories filled with belly laughs and true bonds. I was afraid to tell my story because I didn't want to hear the fan fav "you don't look sick." "

Today, she is grateful for the storm because now it allows her to truly admire every rainbow 🌈

Since being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2020, Chelsey has become a chronic illness advocate and podcaster. Her podcast, My Immune System Hates Me!, features chronic illness sufferers who break down their illness, diagnostic process, treatment, and wellness journey.

She is passionate about supporting her community and started the Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior Group, a weekly peer-led support group for RA warriors. She loves getting to know other spoonies, so feel free to slide in her DMs! I did, and that sparked a wonderful friendship!!
