Description
'I know that living with a chronic illness in this inaccessible world is tough. Trust me, I know. But you deserve to find peace and contentment just as much as anybody else. So welcome to your one-stop guide on how to make the most of life alongside your condition, in a way that truly works for you'.
Chronic illness affects everybody differently, but we all share the goal of living meaningfully and making the most of what we have. This book exists to help you take accessible steps towards that goal and build a life that truly feels like yours.
Instead of focusing on the medical side of long-term conditions, this book dives into the important parts of everyday living that often go unspoken about - from practical advice on friendships, dating and independent living, to more reflective guidance on rediscovering your identity and learning to self-advocate.
Between these pages, you'll find bespoke information and resources curated through 10+ years of lived experience, alongside words of wisdom from diverse contributors and subject experts. This book also contains journal prompts, resource lists, and (perhaps most importantly) words of comfort and validation that people with life-altering conditions simply do not hear enough.

I recieved an ARC copy of this title from the publisher.
As someone who lives with a chronic illness, I was cautiously optimistic about this book and Pippa didn't disappoint. I found her incredibly relatable, as if I were getting a latte at starbucks with a friend and chatting about our mutual lived experience. She speaks cadidly about living in a world that is not built for you, and the ableism that comes along with that. She also is not afraid to call you out on your own role in the things that make you frustrated about living with chronic illness.
I WISH I had this book when my health rapidly changed. I needed to hear this message during my transition into a new medical normal.
I can and HAVE reccomended this book to my chronically ill friends. I've also gifted more than one copy that was purchased with my own money to people I know.
I can't wait for what comes next from this author.
