Ep 81: Meaningful Activities for Rediscovering Who You Are After Illness

from The SpoonFull Show- A Chronic Illness Podcast by SpoonFull of Strength · host Rachel

When chronic illness changes your body, it can also change how you see yourself. In this episode of The SpoonFull of Strength Podcast, Rachel and Kait talk about losing identity after diagnosis — and how meaningful activities can help rebuild purpose, joy, and connection to who you are now.Kait shares how running once defined her identity, how her MMS diagnosis shifted everything, and the grief that came with losing what once brought meaning to her days. Together, they explore what meaningful activities really are (hint: it’s not about productivity), how to modify activities to meet your body where it is, and why finding joy in small, accessible moments can be life-giving.Follow Kait on Instagram at  https://www.instagram.com/alignedk8/Follow SpoonFull of Strength for podcast clips and updates at https://www.instagram.com/spoonfullofstrength/And on TikTok at: https://www.tiktok.com/@spoonfull.of.strengthLooking for chronic illness merch?
