She is also a mum to four young boys, a yoga instructor and has just published her third book. The stress is real - Find out how she handles it in her daily life!

(Apologies for the abrupt cuts and renovation sounds. My upstairs neighbour just *had to* schedule it for the exact date and time as the interview. The joys of living in an apartment! :) )

‘Sick Lessons’ is a podcast where people share life lessons they’ve learned from living with chronic illness, mental illness and/or disability. Topics range from self awareness, self-care, family, friendships, productivity, career, society, humanity and more.

I hope that you find these life hacks and tips useful in your own personal growth and self-development journey. We may be chronically ill, but we do have some pretty wicked lessons to share with the world. So tune in and hear us out!
