Chronic Chronicles: Health Chat

Chronic Chronicles: Health Chat

Wednesdays at 1230PM Pacific/330PM Eastern: It is time to swap being chronically ill for Chronically Awesome! Join the Chronically Awesome Donna Kay and Jules as they teach you how to be less Chronically Ill and more Chronically Awesome. What is Chronically Awesome? Chronically Awesome is a lifestyle choice for the chronically ill. It is a positive way of living life with chronic illness. We can separate ourselves mentally from our chronic illness using artistic expression, mindfulness, and a process of building ourselves up day-by-day growing emotionally strong which makes us physically stronger. Chronic Chronicles is an educational and outreach program of The Chronically Awesome Foundation. www.chronicallyawesome.org *Things to remember: 1. This is not a show about marijuana. 2. In order to participate in the chat you MUST have a user name. Anonymous "Guest 1" type names will not be able to participate due to past severely abusive trolls. Getting a username is quick and easy. 3. Any abuse of hosts, guests, chat room members will be cause for immediate removal from the chat room and report to Talk Shoe Support.

EP185: Setting Boundaries and Knowing When and How To Ask For Help

February 27, 2017
It is hard to set boundaries, to say no or to draw that personal line in the sand where you say "that is enough, thank you" or know when to let people in and how to keep people from crowding your space. It is also hard to let the boundaries down and ask for help when you need it. Even harder, when someone offers that help, how do you let your guard down and accept it. It is a lot to talk about because it is a lot to take.

And maybe they think WE are the difficult people. Sometimes we are. Tough topic at the h...
