2026/01/20

Four years ago last week, I had a hysterectomy. Not because I chose to, but because my body left me no real choice. In this week's episode, I'm sharing something deeply personal - the grief, the relief, and the complicated mess of emotions that comes when chronic illness takes decisions away from you. This isn't about being inspirational. It's about being honest. If you're facing a hysterectomy, managing chronic illness, or dealing with grief over choices your body made for you - this one's for you

134: What Chronic Illness Actually Is (and Isn't)

Life in Align podcast ·

2026/01/06

In this episode, I'm going back to basics and defining what chronic illness really means – because there's a lot of rubbish out there about what having a chronic condition means for your life. What it IS: • Any health condition lasting longer than 3 months that typically can't be completely cured • Includes ME, diabetes, fibromyalgia, MS, IBD, endometriosis – and yes, anxiety disorders too • Means managing something ongoing, with some days harder than others • Affects us physically, mentally,

New Year, New Pressure? Let's Talk About Body Image & Chronic Illness We're in that strange space between Christmas and New Year, and the "New Year, New You" messages are everywhere. But here's what I want you to know: you don't owe anyone a body transformation. When you're living with chronic illness, your relationship with your body is already complex. Your body might cause pain, limit what you can do, or change in ways you didn't choose. And then society starts shouting about how you should be

You're probably far more resilient than you give yourself credit for. Even on the days when you feel vulnerable, when your body isn't cooperating, when you're exhausted from simply existing—you're building strength in ways that aren't always obvious. 7 quiet signs you're building resilience: ✨ You learn from setbacks instead of seeing them as failures ✨ You deeply understand yourself and your body ✨You've built a support network and ask for help ✨ You adapt to constant change with flexibility ✨ You

Staying motivated with chronic illness isn't about overcoming laziness – it's about working with a body that doesn't cooperate, energy that's rationed, and pain that rewrites plans daily. In today's podcast episode, I share what actually helps me stay on track: ✨ Start with one thought ✨ Do the right thing first ✨ Small movements matter ✨ Keep it simple ✨ Listen to YOUR body Living with chronic illness means some days, doing your best looks like simply getting through the day.

Living with chronic illness can feel like you're stuck in a perpetual waiting room – waiting for better health, a diagnosis, or for life to feel "normal" again. But what if we reframed this time? ✨ In today's podcast episode, I'm talking about finding purpose in the present and cultivating meaning during this challenging chapter.

2025/11/25

"Both can be true: life can be difficult, and there can still be things worth celebrating." This is something I've had to learn over and over again whilst living with chronic illness. Gratitude doesn't mean ignoring our pain or pretending everything is fine. It's not about toxic positivity or telling ourselves "at least it's not worse." It's about creating space to notice what remains good and meaningful alongside everything that's difficult. When you're chronically ill, it's natural to focus

In my latest podcast episode, I'm talking about something that's been on my mind a lot lately—body confidence when you're chronically ill. When your body feels unpredictable and limits what you can do, how are you supposed to feel confident in it? I talk about how: ✨ To stop comparing yourself to others or who you used to be. ✨ To change your self-talk. ✨ To listen to your body as a partner, not an enemy. ✨ You don't need validation from others. ✨ To let go of who you were. Real confidence doesn't

2025/11/11

What if you actually don't have any problems? 🤔 Years ago, my consultant said something that completely shifted my perspective: "You don't have any problems." I thought he was nuts. I had a massive list of problems – health challenges, difficult relationships, overwhelming responsibilities. But he was right.... What I actually had were unmade decisions. A problem is anything we make ourselves miserable over until we make a decision. So the real question is: What am I avoiding, and what decision

125 - 6 reasons you need to prioritise intentional rest

Life in Align podcast ·

2025/11/04

You don't earn rest. Nearly 3 in 5 of us are mentally and emotionally exhausted. The weekend isn't a prize for surviving the week—and collapsing on the sofa isn't the same as truly resting. In this week's episode, I'm talking about intentional rest and psychological detachment—the kind of rest that actually restores you. The truth? No one is going to clear time for you. Work won't tell you to rest (unless it's "take two days then come back better than ever"). Your health, relationships, and

Living with chronic illness means making smart choices about energy. Here's how to create a calmer home without exhausting yourself. When I was really unwell, I used disposable items and ready meals—not ideal, but it saved precious energy for what mattered most. Here's why clutter affects us more than we realise: Elevates cortisol levels (hello, stress!) Drains mental energy as our brains constantly process visual chaos Increases fall risks (especially with dizziness or mobility issues) Creates

Every choice has a price The big decisions? We agonise over those. But it's the tiny daily choices—the ones we barely notice—that cost us the most. One biscuit won't derail your goals. But when it becomes permission for tomorrow, and the next day, and the next... that's when the small choices add up. Your daily habits either move you towards what you want or pull you away from it.

The biggest game-changer in my healing wasn't a supplement or treatment... it was changing the stories I told myself ✨ When I was diagnosed, only 1 in 10 people in that clinic would go on to live a "normal" life. The difference? Believing recovery was possible. The fairy tales we tell ourselves ("I am..." statements) have POWER. We're masters at negative self-talk, but what if we flipped the script? Recovery isn't about going back to who you were before - that's impossible. It's about creating a
