Customer Reviews
So helpful!
I’m 39 and was recently diagnosed with RA. Bri and Beka are quite a bit younger than me, but they’ve both been arthritis warriors for a long time and I love hearing their insight. I only know of two people in my life who have RA and I don’t see or hear from them often, so I really enjoy listening to this podcast and hearing from people who understand what I’m going through.
Such good insight of what living with arthritis is like for young adults.
I found the podcast after being devastated by my 5 year old son’s diagnosis. I kept searching the term arthritis and finally landed here and thank goodness I did. The girls keep things realistic but they’re also so incredibly funny and inspiring. It’s so interesting to hear their stories and experiences and helps me as a mom on this medical journey.
You’re not Alone
This podcast and the spoonie community make me feel less alone in my arthritis journey. Thank you for bringing us new episodes with honest insight
