Description

In this episode, Sam sits down with Maisy to unpack what it means to build a life around chronic illness without losing yourself in it. Maisy shares her personal journey through shifting identity, relationships, and the search for community when you exist between able-bodied and chronically ill spaces.

Together, they dive into the emotional and practical realities of asking for accommodations, navigating social media as both connection and comparison, and holding onto self-worth when your body changes the rules. This conversation is an honest look at belonging, resilience, and the power of supportive relationships in the chronic illness world.
