Interview with anthology author Bre Cain contributing the chapter titled "Coming Home" to Volume II Deserts to Mountaintops: Choosing Our Healing Through Radical Self-Acceptance.
Since being diagnosed in early 2022 with untreated Lyme disease, Bre has had to reevaluate and evolve the relationship she has with her body in order to advocate for her own healing. She is passionate about openly sharing what led to over a decade of misdiagnosed pain, medical gaslighting, and the difficulties of receiving healthcare for a chronic illness while living in a fat body.
Bre is interested in continuing a conversation about the barriers of our current healthcare system and the repercussions of evaluating health based on socioeconomic status and image. Bre hopes by sharing her experience, others will feel empowered to ask questions, hold their providers accountable, and advocate for the body they live in.
Bre spent most of her life growing up in the Midwest and is the middle child of seven siblings. She is a Senior Designer, Creative Writer, and Small Business Owner living in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her favorite humans and biggest supporters are her husband Matt and their daughter, Evangeline.
