Listen Later

Life can change so quickly when diagnosed with a chronic illness. Things we once held tightly to like our jobs, hobbies, abilities, family and friends can disappear in the blink of an eye. We can find ourselves lost and isolated from the world around us. Today’s podcast guest tells us how she channelled her own struggles, fear and uncertainty into her TikTok videos and created a safe space and community for others who are struggling with chronic illness. What started out as a wobbly dance turned into 41,000 engaged followers, and a whole world of purpose.

Join me as we get social with Julie and learn about:

  • Her initial symptoms and diagnosis
  • Her struggles raising young children
  • How she had to forego continuing education
  • Her medication dilemmas and complications
  • Her dedication to exercise
  • How she started posting on Tiktok
  • What motivates her daily videos
  • Why she is so loved by her 41,000 followers
  • Her speaking opportunities with #sothisisms
  • Her hobbies, interests and desires
  • Her advice for the newly diagnosed
  • How she deals with the difficult days
  • The message she wants to shout out
