Chron-ick Elise Matson

- Education
Chronic disease and pain is deep, complicated, hard, messy, laughable...it’s just ick. I’m Elise, your host, and while I’m an expert in living with pain, I’m still learning and talking myself through my Chronic-ick life.

We are loved all the way through
I encountered “believe it better” theology, but instead of breaking down, I changed my mind about community.

Muddling Through Shame
There is no necessary legacy, and you don’t have to DO anything with your pain or make anything of it. Let’s middle through that one together in a short 10 minutes.

There Are No Short Straws
Welcome to Season 2 of the Chron-ick Podcast! I'm not going to give too much away, but today, I'm telling you a story of family, and of hope, and of joy. I'm also giving you my *soon to be famous* apple cider recipe.

Grieving Through the Ick
I’m grieving today. I’m struggling, I’m processing. I’m not able to have grace for myself, today. This is me at my most imperfect. I’m holding this space so that you have a safe place when you’re feeling imperfect too; when you feel like moving toward is too hard. This is for me, it’s for you; for us. It’s a safe space for all of us who dwell in the “ick” of chronic mental and physical illness, pain and trauma.

Hear Me Out: Be Your Own CVO
Elise ate a subpar sandwich, which sparked an inner fire about how we should all be our own Chief Vibe Officers. This episode includes sandwich shop rankings, the virtues of chili-mac, horrible bosses, not-so-horrible bosses, and how to get loud and advocate for yourself in and out of the workplace.

It’s my birthday & My dog is puking & I’m getting stuck with needles
Title says it all, but Elise is still celebrating like the queen that she is, and YOU need to do the same today and everyday. You’re a queen and you should celebrate that, no matter your circumstances and no matter the deeply rooted psychological junk telling you (especially as a woman) not to celebrate yourself. QUEENS - let’s celebrate! 🎉
