What Three Stone Steps Taught Me About Chronic Illness Avoidance

Living with chronic illness is not always shaped by dramatic medical events. Sometimes it is shaped by the tiny detours we quietly build into our days. In this episode, I talk about realizing I had been avoiding three ordinary stone steps, and what that small moment revealed about sarcoidosis, heart failure, fear, adaptation, and the slow way a life can shrink by inches. This is a personal, reflective, lightly funny look at avoidance, resilience, breathlessness, and the private negotiations we make with our bodies when ordinary things start asking more from us than they used to.Send A Text To TateSupport the showThis podcast is narrated using an AI voice.
