Chronic But Iconic
Presented to you by Sophie Ward, a Lyme Disease campaigner, blogger, author and radio presenter. Learning how to adapt living life with chronic illness. The challenges we face and the lessons we have to learn. There isn’t a text book with all the answers. We learn on the job, through experiences and fellow sufferers. Chronic illness is tough and there will be rough times but I hope my podcast will inspire you all to keep chasing your dreams and that you DO deserve to live life.

Today, we go out with a bang. By discussing a topic that affects so many of us & especially through lockdown I struggled with. We go into the ways our minds can run away with us. We feel alien, lost & in a fog. How important it is to be unapologetically yourself because we all bring something special to the table.

The comparison cycle as we all know is so very toxic, but it's like quick sand. We easily get sucked in. It is so easy. With chronic illness however it seems we are fighting the battle on both fronts: comparing ourselves to healthy people and comparing ourselves with chronic illness fighters.
Let's DIVE in.
