75: Myasthenia Gravis, Chronic Illness & Redefining Identity | Bolty's Story

What happens when chronic illness forces you to rethink your career, identity, and the life you thought you would have? In this episode of Autoimmune Adventures, Bolty shares her journey living with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) — a rare autoimmune neuromuscular disease that causes muscle weakness and fatigue. After a long path to diagnosis, Bolty faced a reality many people with chronic illness encounter: letting go of the life they expected and learning how to build something new. In this honest and empowering conversation, we talk about: • The relief of finally receiving a diagnosis • Living with Myasthenia Gravis • The grief that comes with chronic illness • Losing and redefining identity after leaving a career • Why we are more than our productivity or job titles • Designing a life that works with your body • Finding empowerment and purpose after diagnosis For anyone living with autoimmune disease, rare disease, or invisible illness, this conversation offers validation, insight, and encouragement. 🎙️ Guest: Bolty 🎧 Podcast: Autoimmune Adventures 📅 Episode Release: March 10 Subscribe to Autoimmune Adventures for conversations about chronic illness, resilience, mindset, and support systems for people navigating autoimmune disease. #AutoimmuneAdventures #MyastheniaGravis #ChronicIllness #AutoimmuneDisease #InvisibleIllness #RareDisease #ChronicIllnessJourney #LifeAfterDiagnosis #HealthPodcast
