A conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Bone on chronic illness, grief, capacity, and rebuilding identity when the old way no longer works.

When chronic illness enters your life, it doesn’t just change your schedule, your energy, or your symptoms. It changes the story you have about who you are.

In this episode of The Aligned Edit, Veronica Dietz sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Bone, chronic illness mentor, author, clinical psychologist, and host of To the Bone: Conversations on Pain, Illness, and Meaning.

They talk about the grief of living with a body that no longer operates the way it used to, why trying to function like your pre-illness self can lead to burnout, and how founders and business owners can begin making decisions from their current capacity instead of their old identity.

This conversation is for anyone navigating chronic illness, burnout, identity loss, nervous system overwhelm, or the painful realization that the old way of operating no longer works.
