In this podcast episode, the host invites her Instagram friend Mary to share her story of chronic illness, which began in middle school and has included a series of ailments such as insomnia, brain fog, anxiety, headaches, and migraines. Mary details her experiences from middle school through college, a traumatic car accident, mission work post-college, and the ongoing struggle with symptoms while battling Lyme disease, mold exposure, heavy metals, and other health issues. The discussion touches on the emotional and psychological tolls, interactions with both conventional and holistic medicine, the importance of advocating for oneself, seeking therapy, and integrating small joys into daily life. Both express the challenges of dealing with chronic illness, the emotional burden, and the importance of community and support.
