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 5 we share some of our darkest times, including career, grief, divorce and heartbreak. However, it shaped us into the women we are today and made us stronger than ever.

    We also talk about how the Motability scheme opened our worlds and gave us freedom and independence.

    You probably know that we always try to find humour in everything but sometimes you just need raw honesty and to talk about being broken and how you rebuilt yourself.

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