What does it mean to rebuild your life when chronic illness topples everything you once held steady? Sara Batchelder and I share our experiences of living with chronic migraine, the grief of losing old versions of ourselves, and the surprising gratitude we’ve found along the way. With Jenga as a powerful metaphor, Sara offers insight into the daily decisions, trade-offs, and small triumphs that come with life in a body that doesn’t always cooperate.
In this episode:
- The Jenga of chronic illness: what falls, what stays
- Living with loss while still finding peace
- Letting go of expectations (and why that’s not giving up)
- The mental and emotional weight of invisible illness
- The power of community
- Creating a life that works with migraine
