In this two-part episode, we explore the healing power of writing and journaling with chronic illness. In Part 1, we dive into how putting pen to paper can help process emotions, reduce stress, and improve mental health while navigating life with chronic illness.
In Part 2, we welcome our Spoonie guest, Rebecca, a former nurse who was diagnosed with Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder and POTS after her second pregnancy. On New Year’s Day 2024, after dealing with COVID, Rebecca started "conscious dumping"—journaling her thoughts straight from mind to paper—which led to writing a 110,000-word fiction novel representing her chronic illness experience. Rebecca also shares her knowledge of HSD and POTS, along with her passion for advocacy and raising awareness. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation!
