Hello Hello! I’m Jess (insta: jess_and_elda) and this is Patient POV!
Today we chatted with Selena (@myloopylife), a fellow dog mom, and chronic illness advocate. She is a lupus warrior, advocate, and a coach who is helping empower women to reclaim their lives from lupus and go from surviving to thriving on their journey.
