EP 18 | Living Well with Chronic Illness: Your Questions Answered

Amanda Diamond & Katie Truscott-Howell Season 1 Episode 18

In this candid, laugh-filled Q&A episode, we’re answering your questions—everything from how we met and started the podcast, to the hardest parts of living with Crohn’s and colitis that most people never see.

We get real about:

  • The invisible emotional toll of chronic illness (and the mindset shifts that change everything)
  • The one piece of advice we’d give our younger selves after diagnosis
  • Daily habits and rituals that have transformed our health
  • Comfort foods that help during flares
  • How movement, rest, and slowing down can both be medicine
  • What we might be doing if we weren’t health coaches and podcasters
  • Our funniest behind-the-scenes moments so far

This episode is equal parts personal stories, practical takeaways, and plenty of laughs. Whether you’re here for the health tips, the real talk, or just to feel a little less alone in your own journey, you’ll leave with hope, encouragement, and maybe a craving for soup.
