Sita

In this episode, Sarah is joined by Sita, known online as Mama Sita, a tireless and outspoken advocate and support of Long Haulers, and a founding member of the Long Covid Moonshot Movement. Sita developed Covid and Long Covid in the Summer of 2021, and describes how her condition developed rapidly into Dysautonomia, Mast Cell Activation (MCAS), exercise intolerance and more. Sita describes her process through her recovery journey and explains how reframing her perspective on her condition using radical acceptance and gratitude has been helpful to her. We discuss how the Long Covid Moonshot movement began and her experience advocating in Washington, and the advocacy landscape more generally. This is a great episode, check it out!
