Welcome to Chronic and Iconic, the podcast

Two girls with one diagnosis of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. We’re not here to be inspirational, we’re raw, gritty, unhinged and unapologetically living life to the fullest.

Join us for episodes of laughter, trauma we can laugh at, careers, marriage, kids, divorce and dating in our 40’s.

Hold tight, it’s gonna be a ride!

    In episode three we discuss teenage years. How despite the same diagnosis and treatments, we were very different in high school (one of us was the nerd and the other, was the wild child!).

    We also discuss becoming young adults, college and the start of entering the working world for one of us.
