Chronic Illness Support: That Chronic Thing

Chicken Glimmers, Wheelchair Freedom, and Finding the Joy in Aging despite Illness

Cathy Beederman Season 1 Episode 36

In this episode, I’m talking with my friend Nic, all the way from New Zealand. We dive into the ups and downs of life with chronic illness, from finding freedom in her wheelchair to the small joys her animals bring. It’s a conversation full of real talk, relatable moments, and the kind of stories that stick with you.  

What’s in this episode:

→ 🐔 A chicken named Lola, heartbreak, and the glimmer of hope that followed.  
→ 🦽 How using a wheelchair became a symbol of freedom—and the struggles that come with it.  
→ 🌱 The complicated mix of grief, acceptance, and learning to like who you’re becoming.  

If you’ve ever needed a reminder to find glimmers in the everyday, this one’s for you.
