She was forced to drop out of school and was bedbound for six years. Her condition worsened to the point that even small exposures to light, sound, or touch would cause severe crashes. As her symptoms started to improve, she started documenting her life on TikTok, with videos of her 'firsts' reaching millions of people around the world. Lily sits down with Abbie to talk about the reality of living with ME, what helped her get through her darkest days, and why she doesn't subscribe to the 'gratitude' narrative.LINKSFollow Lily on TikTok @lilygschubertFollow Lily on Instagram @lilygschubertLily's website http://lilyschubert.com/Read Lily's Substack https://substack.com/@lilyschubertSee Abbie on tour https://linktr.ee/abbiechatfieldlovesmenSend us your thoughts, topic suggestions, NMFs and more: https://forms.gle/S5Pf327SmVnnC8CE9Check out @itsalotpod on IG at https://bit.ly/itsalot-instagram.Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts https://bit.ly/ial-reviewCREDITSHost: Abbie Chatfield @abbiechatfieldGuest: Lily Schubert @lilygschubertExecutive Producer and Editor: Amy Kimball @amy.kimballIt's A Lot Social Media Manager: Julia ToomeySocial Media and Marketing Strategist: Elizabeth Baxter Hosted on Acast.

Antoinette Lattouf decided she'd won before her court case was over. In the midst of a ground-breaking fight against her unfair dismissal from the ABC, Antoinette turned to the annals of history, desperately searching for stories of women in Australian history who have fought similar battles. She found strength in what they'd been through, and has intertwined her own saga with these amazing women's fights in her new book Women Who Win.
