Welcome back to The Disabled Diva Podcast! I’m Cynthia Covert, your host, and today’s episode is particularly close to my heart. As we approach the holiday season, I wanted to delve into a topic that resonates with many of us navigating life with chronic illness.
In S3 E23, we explore the intricate dance between Thanksgiving, holiday traditions, and chronic illness. Over the past 20+ years of my own journey with chronic pain and illness, I’ve faced the unpredictable nature of energy levels and pain, making the holiday season a unique set of challenges and triumphs.
Join me for an exploration of the hurdles we face, the strategies we employ, and the beauty of embracing new traditions. We’ll discuss the importance of flexibility, the art of modifying traditions, and the crucial act of setting boundaries while navigating the joy and complexities of the holiday season.
