 Navigating Chronic Illness & Podcasting with Cathy Beederman

In this episode of Resilient with Jen Chambers, I sit down with Cathy Beederman, host of That Chronic Thing podcast, to talk about the realities of living with chronic illness. I start you right in the middle of our conversation so you feel like you're right on our Zoom call. We start talking about our pets (her senior dog is the cutest) and then discuss everything from mobility aids and energy management to the unique challenges of dating while disabled. Cathy shares her journey into podcasting, how she builds community on social media, and the importance of finding creative outlets while managing health.

We also chat about our favorite books, the joys of audiobooks, and the delicate balance between pushing through and prioritizing rest. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to navigate life and creativity with chronic illness, this is an episode you won’t want to miss! 

Join us for this heartfelt and honest conversation—and stay tuned for Part Two!
