A Tonic for the Long Haul

A Tonic for the Long Haul

Season 1 Episode 16: Damn it, Amy!

Join me as I chat with Amy, a writer, social worker, long covid & ME/CFS advocate, and the brilliant mind behind The Tonic (https://amythetonic.substack.com/) – a refreshing blend of wellness resources and stories for those battling chronic illness.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How to break free from the achievement trap and find validation on your terms.
  • Amy's personal journey with long covid, including her fight for long-term disability.
  • The inspiring story behind The Tonic, and how it injects laughter and hope into chronic illness journeys.

Whether you're a long hauler yourself, or supporting someone who is, this episode is for you.
