    Hi there! I’m Jenni, the proud founder of My Spoonie Sisters and the voice behind @gracefully_jen & https://www.instagram.com/my_spoonie_sisters/.

    I’m so excited to bring together our amazing community of all shapes, sizes, and journeys, where we can uplift, educate, and have some fun along the way! Having lived with anxiety for 30 years and navigating my own health challenges like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, I truly understand the importance of support. My mission is to empower and help other women, just like I wished for during my own journey.

    Mar 28 2022

    🎉 This week, we’re beyond excited to celebrate not just an incredible milestone, but also the remarkable journey of our very first guest turned co-host: Linnea! 💗


    Linnea is truly a champion. Despite her diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, she continues to tackle challenges with unwavering strength and grace. 🌟


    Recently, Linnea took the empowering step of reclaiming control of her health, refusing to let chronic illness define her journey. The radiant smile of her granddaughter fuels her motivation to embrace life fully and fight for a healthier, brighter future. 💪❤️


    From guest to co-host, Linnea has become the heart and soul of My Spoonie Sisters, sharing her story with authentic honesty, empathy, and hope. 🌻


    🥂 Let’s come together to celebrate three amazing years of connection, courage, and community, while honoring Linnea’s inspiring journey. If she inspires you too, drop a 💗 in the comments below!

  • Amy's Anxiety Story
    Apr 15 2022

    Amy, the face behind https://www.instagram.com/alignedamy/

    "For the past 30 yrs #anxiety has ran my life. My husband's diagnosis of #ulcerativecolitis, which lead to a #permanentileostomy, and most recently #crohnsdisease sent my anxiety into overdrive. My passion in life is helping other women know that they are never alone and they are enough, right now, exactly as they are."

    "My toolbox is filled to the brim with tools I use daily to help manage my anxiety. I have learned over the past several years how important self-love and acceptance are to the healing process and will continue to advocate daily for mental health."
