The Chronic Movie Lover
The Chronic Movie Lover is a podcast for those who know that movies and TV are more than just entertainment—they shape us, inspire us, and even save us. For me, they were an escape from the chronic pain I’ve lived with since I was nine. Films and TV shows became my sanctuary, a place to feel, dream, and connect. In this podcast, I share the movies and shows that changed my life, made me laugh, made me cry, and made me think. I also talk about living with chronic pain, the lessons I’ve learned, and the ways pop culture intersects with life’s toughest challenges. Sometimes, I have guests to dive deeper into these conversations. If you love movies, TV, and real, honest storytelling—this is for you.

But you don’t look sick: answering the taboo questions about chronic pain
Today’s episode is a really special one. I’m not alone this time—I’m joined by two amazing women who, like me, live with chronic pain. And together, we’re doing something a little different.
We’re answering the hard questions. The awkward ones. The uncomfortable ones. The questions that people often want to ask about chronic pain—but don’t know how to. Some of them are taboo. Some of them are unintentionally hurtful. And some are the kind of questions we wish people would ask more often, with empathy and understanding.
