What would you do if the person you love most in the world was struck with a severe chronic illness? It's a tough question, but it's one my partner, Brian, had to face head on when I experienced a life-threatening, year-long flare of Ulcerative Colitis. Join us for this raw and honest discussion about the emotional and physical turmoil that chronic illness brings, not just for the patient, but for their loved ones too. Our conversation reveals the real-life challenges and lessons learned throughout our journey, alongside the power of resilience and hope.

As we navigated our way through a sea of medical appointments, treatments, and emotional upheavals, we discovered that caregivers are often overlooked warriors in these battles. In our chat, Brian and I delve into the pivotal role of caregivers, shedding light on the strength and endurance needed to support a loved one while maintaining personal wellbeing. From our experience, we highlight the undeniable significance of a strong support network and the vital practice of self-care, while agreeing that there simply is no "instruction manual" for this sort of thing.
