Steph Kelly is fed through her veins. This is what she wants us to know about invisible illness

In March 2018 Steph Kelly was in a car accident that changed her life. Steph received injuries to her neck, ribcage and shoulder, but months after the crash, her digestion wasn’t back to where it had been before the accident. What followed was years of sickness, time spent in hospital, and a lot of trial & error, before eventually landing on a solution that means she now receives her nutrition via her veins.

In this episode we sat down with Steph to learn about the events that have lead up to now, what her day-to-day looks like, how she feels about her body, and what she wishes more people knew about invisible illnesses.
