354: What Chronic Sickness is REALLY Like

Chronic sickness can make you feel like you've lost yourself and that you're letting everyone else down too. It impacts more than just your body; it reshapes your identity, your relationships, and your sense of hope. In this episode, Justin and Abi get personal about their journeys with long-term illness, the pressure to push through, and the silent grief of not being who you used to be. They unpack how sickness affects connection, the loneliness of being in survival mode, and the power of regulating your nervous system to support healing. Whether you're the one who's sick or you love someone who is, this conversation will help you feel seen and remind you that your worth isn't tied to your capacity. There is hope, and it might look different than you expected. You can WATCH us at Don't forget to RATE, REVIEW,
