episode 57: "What do you do all day?" cover

Description

In this episode, I reflect on a question I was asked recently: “What do you do all day?” It sounds simple, but living with Long Covid means the answer is anything but. I share an honest “day in the life,” from waking with fatigue, attempting small wins like walking the dogs, to the crashes, pacing decisions, and quiet frustration that often shape my days. I also talk about the boredom and guilt that can come with enforced rest, the invisible work of managing energy that most people never see. If you’ve ever wondered what chronic illness life really looks like behind closed doors, this episode offers a window.
