Have you ever listened to the words used to describe living with an illness and felt they just didn't sit right with you?

In this episode of Wellbeing Interrupted, we dive deep into the language surrounding illness narratives and explore how certain words can profoundly impact our mental and physical health. From "battle" to "victim," I share my personal journey navigating these terms while living with MS and stage four breast cancer, highlighting the power of words in shaping our experience and mindset towards illness.

This is about recognising the weight words can carry when living with an illness or health condition. This episode is close to my heart, as it reflects not just my own struggles and revelations but also a broader conversation on how we can collectively shift towards more empowering ways of discussing illness.

KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS:

• The significance of reevaluating the "battle" narrative and its implications on those living with chronic illnesses.
• Understanding that being in "fight" mode isn't the only way to confront illness and the importance of finding peace and healing in other forms of strength.
• Rethinking what "incurable" means and how focusing on living well can offer a more hopeful perspective.
• Discussing the term "terminal" and how shifting focus from end-of-life to quality of life can empower individuals facing serious diagnoses.
• Moving beyond labels such as "sufferer" or "victim" to embrace a narrative of empowerment and resilience.
