    Ashley Bravin, Disabled Artist and Advocate, On Using Art to Showcase the Realities of Chronic Illness
    May 20 2022
    Do you struggle with your own internalized ableism? Do you wish there was more representation of dynamic disabilities and chronic illness in media and art? Do you feel alone in your journey with chronic illness? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then this is the episode for you. Meet the powerful dynamic-disabilities advocate and disabled artist, Ashley Bravin. My conversation with Ashley begins with her journey with multiple chronic illnesses. We then dive into her current art projects and future exhibitions that reflect the reality of living with multiple dynamic disabilities and chronic illnesses. Finally, we touch on her experience with her two service dogs and what services dogs can do for people with chronic illness (e.g., medical alerts)! MORE ON ASHLEY: Ashley Bravin is a disabled artist and advocate, with multiple chronic illnesses.

  • Chronic Illness Mindset Coach, Nat Kelly, on How to Build Mental Resilience and Confidence

    Chronic Illness Mindset Coach, Nat Kelly, on How to Build Mental Resilience and Confidence
    Apr 20 2022

    Have you ever wondered, "Why me?", "Will I ever be happy again?" or "My life is over"? If you have, Natalie Kelly is here to help. As Nat says, with chronic illness, thought patterns of fear, doom, anxiety, self-consciousness, and self-hatred are common (and valid), but they don't have to be your forever. If you are ready to learn how to reframe those thoughts and learn mindset tools to help you find happiness, confidence, and joy again, then this is the conversation for you!

    First, we touch on Nat’s personal journey with chronic illness and how she came to be a chronic illness mindset and lifestyle coach. We then delve into some specifics about what mindset work is, how she helps people get comfortable with acceptance, and what it means to control our emotions.


    More on Nat:

    Natalie is the CEO and founder of Plenty and Well where she is a full-time chronic illness blogger, podcaster, and mindset and lifestyle coach. Nat, who has been living and thriving with Ulcerative Colitis (UC), is passionate about helping you find acceptance, confidence, inner growth, and self-compassion on your chronic illness journey. You can find her @plentyandwellwithnat on Instagram and her website plentyandwell.com
