About this listen

In this episode of Healing Space with Cara, we explore one of the most powerful and compassionate frameworks in chronic illness and mental-health life: Spoon Theory.

Originally created by Christine Miserandino, Spoon Theory is a way to describe the limited energy many people living with chronic illness, disability, pain, or mental-health challenges experience each day. It helps us understand why even simple tasks — getting dressed, cooking, answering messages — can use up precious “spoons,” and why pacing, boundaries, rest, and self-compassion aren’t just helpful — they’re essential.
