Season 2, Ep 19
Welcome to The Chronic Chronicles, I'm SO happy that you're here!
In this week's episode, I'm joined by Reese, a creative, storyteller, and chronic illness warrior who's rewriting what it means to live, rest, and create with limitations.
We talk about the complex journey of losing parts of yourself to illness... and slowly reclaiming them again through creativity, community, and radical self-compassion. Reese opens up about the pressures of productivity, learning to honor her energy, and what it looks like to show up as your full self.
✨ Topics we cover:
Navigating identity loss after a diagnosis
The role of creativity in healing and self-expression
Coping with flare-ups while still chasing your passions
Redefining success and worth outside of hustle culture
Finding community through vulnerability and shared experience
The emotional weight of invisibility—and the power of being seen
Whether you're chronically ill, creatively blocked, or somewhere in between, this episode will speak to your soul. Come feel seen.
