Chronic Illness Support: That Chronic Thing
Hey there, I'm Cathy! Living with chronic illness isn't easy, and I'm here to talk about the ups, downs, and everything in between. Whether it's navigating relationships, work, or simply trying to make it through the day, I’m sharing my personal experiences and insights to offer support, humor, and connection for those walking (and rolling) the same path.
From dating while sick to finding small joys amidst the challenges, we’ll laugh, cry, and figure this chronic illness life out together. Join me as we create a space where you don’t have to go through it alone.
