In this heartfelt episode of Autoimmune Adventures, we sit down with Hana Birch, an author, advocate, and lifelong rheumatoid arthritis warrior who has lived with the condition for more than 50 years.

Hana shares how she’s learned to find hope, humor, and strength through the hardest seasons of chronic illness—and why she believes we must never give up, because doing so means we’ll miss the light of all the good things still to come. She also opens up about her book, Hana’s Hope, a beautiful collection of poetry offering encouragement to anyone walking the path of autoimmunity, pain, or healing.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

Finding purpose and laughter in the face of illness

The power of gentle movement and mindset shifts

Turning life’s struggles into meaningful adventures

The inspiration behind Hana’s Hope

 

🎧 Tune in to discover how Hana’s story reminds us all that even in our hardest moments, there is still light, love, and hope ahead.
