In the second of this two-part special, we are joined by Heather Christie, aka ArchaeoPlays - an archaeologist, content creator, and gamer.
Heather delves into the past on their Twitch and YouTube channels, where they unearth hidden connections between video games and the ancient world. But their real-life adventure is even more intriguing as they navigate the challenges of living with multiple chronic illnesses, including endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS, IBS, interstitial cystitis, and chronic pain.
In part two, we dive into why Heather plays games like Minecraft to distract themself and cope with the realities of living with multiple chronic illnesses and how they put their unique twist on it by linking it to their love of history.
