In today’s episode of the podcast, I interview Julie Morgenlender. Julie is absolutely notable and she could be on this podcast for many reasons, but I really wanted her on an episode breaking down the stigma around chronic illness. I know people with chronic illness and you do too. It’s time that we all find a greater understanding of these hidden illnesses and disabilities. We speak at length about Julie’s own diagnoses, what those illnesses mean for her and her daily life, and what sort of assumptions people make about her as someone with a chronic illness. This conversation really opened my eyes to what Julie’s life is like, and although I will never truly know what it’s like to have a chronic illness, I have greater respect and empathy because of her.

IN THIS EPISODE, I EXPLORE:
-Julie’s own diagnoses
-what those illnesses mean for her and her daily life
-what sort of assumptions people make about her as someone with a chronic illness
