Let’s be honest…everyone loves to tell you about their friend’s cousin’s boyfriend who tried yoga and how it magically cured his chronic pain. We love that for him, but often unsolicited health advice can leave us feeling dismissed and exhausted.

"Once I get better, I will love my life.”

On the surface, this statement might seem harmless, exuding positivity and a can-do, hopeful attitude. Underneath it is the harsh reality of living with chronic illness. 

Living with constant chronic pain can feel like being stuck in an alternate universe.

Just like everyone else, you are navigating the everyday stressors of life: paying the bills, keeping up with chores, and spending time with the people you care about.

Many teens today struggle with the pressure to earn their worth. They believe that in order to truly be loved and seen, they must constantly prove themselves.

Have you ever felt like life is just a constant effort to keep a dozen plates spinning in the air?

Almost like if you lose focus for one second, everything you care about will crash to the ground? You are not alone.

Feeling depressed or anxious? A coping playlist might be just what you need.

Music can be a powerful tool for emotional regulation, self-care, and stress relief.

To anyone dealing with chronic pain and illness,

This road doesn’t seem to get easier, does it? The ever-changing symptoms, the failed treatments, and the endurance of surviving this can feel overwhelming. I want you to know: you are seen. 

Summer is in full swing, and Spooky Season is just around the corner! But guess who keeps showing up to every event uninvited? Chronic pain.

Nothing prepares you to live with chronic illness and pain. Nothing.

Along with the emotional weight of chronic illness and pain comes grief.
