E61: You Really Don't Know with Jane Casiano

Chronic illness is often not only challenging physically, but emotionally. In this week’s episode, Amy and Mark share what we learned from our conversation with Jane Casiano, who openly discusses the challenges she faces dealing with Lupus since the age of 13. In this episode we share thoughts about: - How each of us can be supportive without being overbearing. - The power of human connection and simple acts of kindness, particularly for those suffering with hidden conditions. - The impact of listening to create connections of healing and understanding. You likely know someone suffering with a chronic illness, but they may not always make it known. Join us as we look at how we can support the silent sufferers in our lives. Jane Casiano is the host of the Chronically Ill Diaries podcast, where she shares with courage and vulnerability her experience living with Lupus. She is the author of the upcoming book, "The Chronically Ill Diaries" as well, where she shares her experience and the power of connection with others experiencing chronic illnesses.
