When you think about it, we talk about everything else. We talk about our families, our jobs, our vacations. But when it comes to chronic illness, we clam up. Why is that? Over 157 million people in the US have 1 or more chronic illnesses and yet we don’t talk about them. Maybe it’s because we are afraid of being judged? Maybe we think people won’t want to be around us if they know we have a chronic illness? Whatever the reason, this needs to change. We need to be able to talk freely and safely about our chronic illness journey.

We all know someone who has a chronic illness, whether it’s a family member, friend, or co-worker. But even though it’s so common, we don’t talk about it. Why is that? Maybe it’s because we think people with chronic illnesses are somehow different from us and that they must be treated differently. Or maybe we’re just afraid of saying the wrong thing and making them feel uncomfortable.

If we can talk about our chronic illnesses, then we can start to break down the barriers that keep us from living our best lives. We deserve to live life to the fullest! And we are here to support you on your journey. So come talk to us, we’re listening!
