Shaking Hands with Chronic Illness™
Shaking Hands with Chronic Illness is a writing-centered space for honest reflection, emotional processing, and grounded support for those living with chronic pain, trauma, or long-term illness. Born from my lived experience of spinal fusions, three different types of cancer, numerous autoimmune illness, and the emotional realities that follow, this platform supports healing in small, sustainable steps.
