122. Does Chronic Illness Diminish Your Worth? Your Purpose? | Allison Brown

Warrior Words | Stories of Hope | Finding Beauty After Battles & Thriving After Surviving Trauma

Welcome to Episode 122 of the Warrior Words podcast! It's {almost} fall. I really enjoyed the Summer Rewind over the last ten weeks. It was wonderful to revisit these conversations. Now I want to introduce you to Allison Brown. She shares - from across the continents - her story of chronic illness that started when she was a child. It's been 30 years. Over the last 30 years, she has battled the illness itself, but, in addition, the side effects that accompany her illness: anxiety, depression, and more. This conversation is something many of us can relate to, plus, it's one that can help us learn to respond with compassion when someone is dealing with a situation we may not understand.
