An Amy for the Long Haul

An Amy for the Long Haul

Episode 13: An Emotion Soup

Ever feel like you get the "you look great!" when you definitely don't feel great? Join me and Amy (https://www.instagram.com/longcovidrockstar/) on this episode of A Friend for the Long Haul as we tackle the frustrating things people say to those with chronic illness and long covid. We get real about the pressure to perform and the emotional toll of "have you tried X?"

But this episode isn't all venting! Amy's a total rockstar when it comes to mindset and pacing, and she shares how she reclaimed enjoyment in her life. We even dive into how she negotiated a return to work on her terms (because boundaries are essential!)

Feeling lost in the shuffle of illness? We talk about the impact of social conditioning and the patriarchy on our self-worth, especially for chronically ill and disabled folks. Amy will leave you with some actionable tips for starting a gratitude practice and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that might feel hidden.

This episode is a must-listen if you struggle with

  • Feeling invisible in your illness
  • Saying good things about yourself
  • Dealing with unsolicited advice
  • Reclaiming joy and purpose
