A Friend for the Long Haul: A Long Covid Podcast A Tonic for the Long Haul
Season 1 Episode 16: Damn it, Amy!
Join me as I chat with Amy, a writer, social worker, long covid & ME/CFS advocate, and the brilliant mind behind The Tonic (https://amythetonic.substack.com/) – a refreshing blend of wellness resources and stories for those battling chronic illness.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How to break free from the achievement trap and find validation on your terms.
- Amy's personal journey with long covid, including her fight for long-term disability.
- The inspiring story behind The Tonic, and how it injects laughter and hope into chronic illness journeys.
Whether you're a long hauler yourself, or supporting someone who is, this episode is for you.
