The Invisible Battle: Chronic Illness | Lindsay Weber
Chronic illness can change your life, your identity, and the way you see yourself—but it does not change your worth.
In this episode of Radiant Awakening, Sierra talks with licensed clinical social worker Lindsey Weber about the emotional side of chronic illness, including grief, invisible illness, asking for help, spoon theory, productivity, purpose, and self-worth.
They also discuss why high-achieving women with chronic illness are often misunderstood and why living a meaningful life may require redefining what success looks like.
