In this two-part episode of the SpoonFull Podcast, Rachel and Tina dive into Kicking Sick: Your Go-To Guide for Thriving with Chronic Illness by Amy Kurtz—a book we loved so much, we just had to share our favorite takeaways with you.


In Part 1, we discuss the moments, lessons, and insights from the book that resonated with us the most. This book covers everything from self care, to being your own advocate, from food to social situations. We can' t recommend this book enough.


Then, in Part 2, we welcome Amy herself—patient advocate, health coach, and bestselling author—who has lived with autoimmune disorders, thyroid disease, and late-stage Lyme. She shares her personal journey, the inspiration behind Kicking Sick, and the empowering message she hopes every reader carries with them.
