2019/07/15

Emma Franklin joins me today to share her Lyme Disease journey, her treatments, struggles and advice. Emma has gone through the mill when it comes to her health. She is a warrior for sure. I felt it was important to show how debilitating this disease is. How hard it makes life, the prices we pay and the torture we go through. Emma is a beautiful lady in her 20's and I felt it was important to talk about how it is truly hard having to not only come to terms with poor health but managing poor health

Miranda Turley's Lyme Story

Chronic But Iconic ·

2019/06/17

This week I was lucky enough to interview Miranda Turley on her Lyme journey. Having met Miranda at the Ashton Memorial light up I felt her story had to be told because so many of you will be able to relate. Miranda's life, as all of ours do, got turned upside down and having to adapt is only the start of the hard work. Gaining acceptance, support and often fighting the medical community is extremely draining. It leaves sufferers like Miranda having huge medical bills as we are forced to seek

John Wellby On Mental Health & Diabetes

Chronic But Iconic ·

2019/06/13

John was amazing on this episode, as he openly talks about his own personal struggles with his own mental health and diabetes. Mental health especially for men still sadly has a lot of stigma behind it. It has taken more celebrities to open up in public about their own mental health struggles for more support and acceptance to become common place. This shouldn't be the case however, we must be grateful in the shifts within society it has caused and the positive changes it has achieved. It takes

I felt this was an important interview to do. I didn't plan to do it on a day I wasn't feeling well because of the full moon but in the end it worked out perfectly. This episode will really bring home the realities of a chronic illness and how valuable amazing support is. It isn't always easy to find support, not at all and we do all go through the process of feeling alone, a waste of space, a drain and write ourselves off as un-dateable and unlovable. I have felt this way for so many years until

Kirk is an incredibly talented chef, who's journey with Lyme Disease has led him to eat a plant-based diet. He has used this to his advantage to create amazing, show-stopping dishes and take his career in a new direction but also to help him heal. Kirk explains how hard it has been to deal with his health and balance his career & sport. I think he has a very motivation message throughout the interview that he has never really 'given up' he is still achieving, chasing dreams and adapting around
