Doing Life Differently

After missing another week, Taking Up Space is moving to Wednesdays. This week, I'm talking about something I've mentioned on the podcast before but haven't really sat down and talked about: living with chronic illness. October is Dysautonomia Awareness Month, so it felt like a good time to talk about what chronic illness actually looks like in my everyday life, especially while trying to balance college, work, photography, motorsports, and everything else. I'm talking about the parts people see, the parts they don't, learning to work with my body instead of constantly fighting against it, the guilt that comes with having to change plans, and figuring out what it means to build the life and career I want while also having to do some things differently. No medical advice or perfect answers here. Just my experience and a conversation I've wanted to have for a while. Thanks for hanging out with me :)
