This one’s for the spoonies who wake up looking like a raccoon on a bender but still manage to serve “invisible-era glam” by 3pm. Join me for a short (but fabulous) love letter to all of us who are chronically ill, constantly exhausted, and still somehow kinda hot.

We’re talking dry shampoo, specialist appointments as red carpet events, and the Olympic sport that is taking a shower.

It’s short. It’s real. It’s funny. And yes… the fish market comment might haunt me forever.

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on the condition that hijacked my life, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (aka POTS). From the misdiagnosis of “just anxiety” to the daily battles no one sees, I’m sharing the raw, ridiculous, and real side of living with an invisible illness. Spoiler: it’s not all salt and compression socks and fainting.

In this first episode of Flare Ups & F-Bombs, I open up about life with invisible illness, what finally pushed me to speak out, and how a slow week in New Zealand helped me find my voice again. A short, sweet little introduction on a very big subject.
