My Chronic Illness and Me

This podcast offers a safe and welcoming space for chronic pain sufferers to share their stories in their own words, educating and inspiring listeners. Whether you're looking to understand more about a wildly misunderstood condition (like endometriosis) because you or a loved one lives with it, or simply looking to educate yourself, this podcast will help. Host Katie creates a space where guests feel comfortable and taken care of, leading to insightful and raw conversations about tough topics, balanced perfectly with laughter and genuine human connection. I cannot wait for more!

Katie is an expert in speaking on raw, emotional topics and listening to others with the most sincerity of anyone I know. She is able to reflect what you say back to you in a way that provides a new perspective and brings you deeper into your own understanding. Listening to the first episode of this podcast brought me back to so many of my own conversations with Katie, in which I know I am safe to be vulnerable and will receive love and support through whatever it is I am dealing with. This podcast allows listeners to get to know this talent Katie has, and opens the door for a wider breadth of understanding of chronic illness. Those with chronic illness deserve this space Katie is cultivating to unpack their experiences and create community among one another; and their family and friends will benefit greatly from hearing the true unfiltered stories of the day-to-day, moment-to-moment underpinnings of living with a chronic (and often invisible) illness. Listening will serve to make all of us more knowledgeable and compassionate. I anxiously await all future episodes!

Having known Katie for more than 14 years, I know her to be one of the most honest people in my life. Honest with herself - she walked away from her successful career to focus on her health because doing anything else would have continued her down a road of invisible pain too tough for anyone to bare. Honest with her close friends - she asks the best questions m, in the most loving and uplifting way, that make me consider whether I’m being perfectly honest with myself. And honest with others - the work she has devoted herself to as a coach is invaluable to anyone who bring her into their lives. Whatever Katie puts her mind to, she does so honestly and expertly. Take a listen and find out for yourself!
