    The Reality of Living with Lupus: A Conversation with Alice Derrig

    In this episode, I'm joined by Alice Derrig, a lupus advocate from England who is using her voice to raise awareness and support others living with chronic illness. This was such an important episode for me. Being diagnosed at 16, I was not able to connect with others around me who may be living with lupus as well. Meeting Alice has given me a new sense of community, and I am so thankful.  Alice shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with lupus, the challenges of navigating life with an invisible illness, and how she's learned to adapt while continuing to inspire others. We also talk about the importance of community, self-advocacy, and finding hope through the ups and downs of living with a lifelong condition. Alice is the creator of the social media platform A Girl's Guide to Lupus, where she shares honest insights, practical advice, and encouragement for people living with lupus and other autoimmune conditions. She was also featured in a BBC documentary, helping bring greater awareness to the realities of living with lupus. Alice is the definition of "Lupus Warrior" and I am so glad that we were able to connect and share our stories. Whether you're living with lupus yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply want to better understand autoimmune disease, this conversation is filled with c valuable information. I hope you enjoy the episode and take a moment to truly reflect and think about what it may be like to live with a chronic illness. To the lupus community - you are never alone. I see you, I hear you, and I am here for you💜 https://www.instagram.com/amycohen.mao?igsh=MWwyYjdlenVubzNqMA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

    Growing Up a Horse Girl

    Welcome to my podcast! I’ve been wanting to take this leap for a while and I finally decided to do it! Instead of doing multiple episodes on Instagram reels, I thought a podcast would be easier to access and share across platforms.  Strong Mind Society is a podcast to share my story, my work with mental performance coaching, my lifestyle, and my journey with pageants and sports. This first episode aims to give a glimpse of my story and share some of the inspiration behind this podcast.
