Let’s talk about your career and chronic illness.

When I reflect back over the past eight years I have realized that there was not ONE single experience during my “pre chronic” life that could have ever adequately prepare me for the myriad of GUILT that accompanies traveling this journey.

Being a parent is hard enough without having a chronic illness, and the truth is most days l oscillate between fear, anxiety, optimism and hope. Having to juggle being a mom, wife, and employee all while living with a chronic illness is exponentially more challenging than I could have ever imagined.

As humans we are all flawed. That doesn’t make us BROKEN, but it does mean that we all come with our laundry list of things that make us different and unique. Even before I was diagnosed with Chronic Migraine—I was flawed. But having a chronic illness does NOT make you MORE flawed, it just means that we have to learn to live within the greyed lines of what living is like when you live day in and day out with ever changing pain and symptoms. I am by all means not perfect. But I am here and I LEARNING how to feel GOOD in this very flawed life. It is not easy, but together we can do this as a community of chronic illness fighters.

Once upon a time, I had a VERY different life. A life filled with spontaneity, and the ability to say “YES” to plans and being able to follow through without having to cancel.
