In this episode, RuthAnn and Jenna dive into the emotional and physical challenges of living with a chronic illness. From Lance’s staggering 70 doctor visits in one year to his ongoing battle with two ultra rare conditions, LCH and ECD, RuthAnn and Jenna reflect on how invisible illness impacts not only the body but also relationships, perspectives, and the way we approach life itself.
Lance’s diagnoses at a young age forced him and RuthAnn to confront the harsh reality that time is precious — and how it feels when the outside world doesn’t understand the invisible battle you’re fighting. With humor, resilience, and a determination to enjoy life no matter the circumstances, RuthAnn shares how they navigated their life of hardship through years of uncertainty.
RuthAnn and Jenna also explore the difficulty of explaining chronic illness to others, the pressure of people’s expectations, and how living authentically became the only choice in an unpredictable world. Tune in for a candid conversation on the power of perspective, finding joy in the smallest moments, and the importance of embracing life on your own terms — no matter what you’re facing.
