If you’ve ever felt like the healthcare system treats your chronic illness like a puzzle it’s tired of solving — you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. That’s where My Spoonie Sisters comes in.
Part podcast, part sisterhood, all heart — My Spoonie Sisters is a supportive space built by a Spoonie, for Spoonies.
Let’s back up real quick —
If you’re new to the term, a “Spoonie” is someone living with a chronic illness who uses the Spoon Theory to explain how much energy they have each day. It was created by Christine Miserandino, and it’s a total game-changer for understanding invisible illness. Basically, every task costs a “spoon.” And when your spoons are limited? You learn to get real intentional with your energy.
That’s exactly what My Spoonie Sisters is about — supporting you through those low-spoon days, celebrating the wins (no matter how small), and making sure you never feel alone in this.
What My Spoonie Sisters Does (and Why It Matters)
Each week, the My Spoonie Sisters podcast brings you real conversations with people who get it. Hosted by Jen — a badass mindset mentor living with rheumatoid arthritis, pustular psoriasis, IBS, and anxiety — this show is grounded in lived experience. She’s been where you are, and she’s created the kind of community she wished existed when she was newly diagnosed.
You’ll hear from Jen, her co-hosts, and a wide range of guests who are sharing:
- Personal stories of chronic illness
- Mental health insights
- Practical tips to make life with illness a little easier
- A whole lot of encouragement (and well-timed laughter)
Whether you’re deep in the chronic illness trenches or just figuring out what “spoonie life” even means, this show is for you.
