The Guilt I Carried That Was Never Mine: Living with Chronic Illness and Letting Go

from Thoughts While Surviving Chronic Illness: Ramblings From a Chef Whose Body Constantly Rebels · host Tate Basildon

A moment from childhood can quietly shape how we carry guilt for decades. In this episode, I share the story of losing my stepfather at thirteen and the belief I carried for years that it was somehow my fault.
