I talk with Kelly George about losing and rebuilding identity through Long Covid: the crashes that forced pacing, the relief of being believed, and the slow return of capacity that now lets her design a life she actually wants. Hope here isn’t vague—it’s built from activity management, nervous system care, and community that shows the way.
• life before illness as active mum and professor
• infection after mandates lifted and symptom escalation
• debilitating fatigue, brain fog and loss of identity
• isolation within relationships and shared loss framing
• early support surge then fade and asking for help
• being listened to as regulation and relief
• pacing, baseline setting and crash prevention
• links with ME/CFS knowledge and specialists
• nervous system regulation through rest and small practices
• community and CFS Health programme benefits and limits
• mindset without blame, celebrating tiny wins
• defining recovery, cautious cardio and rebuilding work
• coaching mums, caregivers and higher-ed professionals
