Your Illness Is Not Your Identity: How to Reclaim Your Life with Scleroderma and Start Healing
If you’ve struggled with autoimmune disease for years, you likely understand the grief that often comes with symptoms, flares, and changes that feel beyond repair.
In this intimate and empowering solo episode, Gianna shares how her identity was shaped by 12 years of living with scleroderma—and what it took to finally break free from the “sick girl mentality.” Through personal stories and real-life strategies, she offers hope to anyone who’s ever felt trapped in their diagnosis and shows what’s possible when you stop identifying with your illness and start believing in your ability to heal.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into your healing journey, this episode will remind you: you are powerful beyond the pain, beyond the diagnosis, and beyond the flare.
Your body is made good.
