43: Self Advocacy with Audrey Pawl Walker (S2 EP 10)

In this powerful episode of Autoimmune Adventures, we sit down with Audrey Pawl Walker—a dynamic speaker, nonprofit executive, and lupus warrior with over 20 years of lived experience. Audrey created the “Let’s PARTY” framework to help people move from burnout to re-engagement with purpose, energy, and joy—and today, she’s sharing it with us.

Audrey opens up about the early days of her lupus diagnosis, the emotional toll of chronic illness, and the moment she realized she needed to advocate for herself in the healthcare system. She offers wisdom on building resilience, protecting your energy, and setting boundaries that support both your health and your happiness.

We also talk about:

  • How to prepare for doctor appointments

  • What to do when you feel dismissed by providers

  • Creating routines that empower you—even during flares

  • And what hope looks like after two decades of chronic illness

Whether you're newly diagnosed or deep in your journey, this episode is a reminder that you are enough, and your voice matters.

✨ Remember: You are worthy of joy. Your disease does not define your life—you do.
