In Part 1 of this uplifting episode, Rachel and Tina dive into the question, “What’s the greatest gift you’ve given your body?” From the power of positive self-talk to the importance of setting boundaries, they explore how grace, affirmations, and compassion can help us better care for ourselves—especially while living with chronic illness.

In Part 2, we welcome rare disease advocate Jenny, the founder of Life’s a Polyp. Jenny shares her powerful journey with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), Short Bowel Syndrome, and medical PTSD after surviving eight surgeries and living with an ileostomy for six years. She opens up about how she turned her pain into purpose—creating a children’s book, launching the NORD FAP Research Fund, and raising awareness through her advocacy shop. Her story is one of fierce resilience, community-building, and hope.
