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.

The Price of Inclusion: Chronic Illness, Disability, & Accessibility Fails
In this episode of That Chronic Thing, Cathy dives into the high cost of “inclusion” at a WNBA playoff game — literally. From $2,000 ADA seats to arenas telling disabled fans to “just show up and hope,” this story highlights how broken accessibility systems still are, even decades after the ADA.
Cathy shares her personal experience as a fan with chronic illness and disability, the barriers that kept her from attending, and why accessibility advocacy is everyone’s responsibility — not just the disabled community’s.
If you’ve ever struggled with chronic illness, disability, or the endless hoops of so-called “accommodations,” this one’s for you.
