“Unfortunately, people think that conditions like fibro are fake. How would you explain it to someone who feels that way?” ~ anonymous


Do you feel like your chronic illness is holding you back from achieving your dreams? Are you struggling to find purpose beyond your accomplishments?

As a young adult with chronic illness, I tackle the challenges of feeling like my dreams are falling apart, while also highlighting the importance of processing emotions, finding purpose beyond my accomplishments, and advocating for myself in the face of chronic illness.

The key is to shift your focus from external achievements to internal growth. By finding joy in the present moment and creating a positive mindset, you can find a sense of purpose and direction in your life.

Let's get started!
