Toni Street is one of the most upbeat and positive people out there so it can be surprising to find out how much tragedy and pain she has endured in her life. Distressingly, Toni lost 3 siblings while growing up and then while in the middle of a successful TV career, she was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease EGPA. We chat about the confronting realities that come with being unwell and the painful process of being diagnosed.
This chat made me reflect on my own life, and the season of survival I'm in (while heavily pregnant!). The biggest takeaway for me from talking with Toni is the importance of family and creating a strong community to help support you when things get tough.
