About this listen

Welcome to a new chapter of The Chronic Brew! In this pivotal episode, we’re expanding our focus beyond Chronic Kidney Disease to embrace the entire chronic illness community.

Join us as I share the personal story behind this rebrand and reveal why this is so much bigger than my own journey. We dive into the staggering global impact and economic burden of non-communicable diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

Then, we bring the conversation home to a struggle so many of us know too well: chronic fatigue. I introduce the powerful Spoon Theory as a tool for managing limited energy and offer a raw, personal reflection on what living with an unpredictable body truly feels like.

Whether you live with a chronic illness or support someone who does, this episode is for you. Tune in to feel seen, understood, and part of a bigger conversation.

Episode Highlights:

  • The personal reason behind the podcast's rebrand.

  • The global and economic impact of common chronic illnesses.

  • A deep dive into what chronic fatigue truly feels like.

  • How to use the Spoon Theory to manage your energy.

  • A raw reflection on the emotional toll of living with CKD.
