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!

Chelsea Stand Up To RA

April 27, 2023 • Host: Jenni Weaver • Season 2 • Episode 19

Have you met the lovely Chelsea?

Chelsea is 28 and runs a small business ( @juniperandwildflower ) with her mom! She was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis a little over three years ago, and then has developed scleritis/uveitis in her right eye. Since getting diagnosed with a chronic illness, life hasn’t been easy, but finding community with other spoonies on similar paths has helped Chelsea feel less alone in hers. This is why she decided to create her space on Instagram, to share her story and what she has learned through her wellness journey in hopes of helping other spoonies in theirs.
