My Spoonie Sisters
Welcome to My Spoonie Sisters! If you're wondering what a "Spoonie" is, it’s a term lovingly embraced by those living with chronic illnesses, based on the Spoon Theory. It’s all about managing our limited energy (or “spoons”) while navigating life’s challenges.
Each week, join us to hear from your "Spoonie Sisters" host, co-hosts, and our inspiring special guests as we share real-life stories, tips, and encouragement. Whether you're here to learn, connect, or feel less alone, you’ll find a supportive space filled with understanding, laughter, and strength. Let’s journey through chronic illness together!

Treatments Gone Wrong
My name is Jennifer, and I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 32 after a year of doctors and treatments trying to figure out my chronic pain.
I had multiple allergic reactions, one resulting in pustular psoriasis altering my life forward and adding a new lifelong diagnosis.
I strive to be the support for newly diagnosed or struggling warriors the way I desperately needed and did not have.
