I can’t even count how many times I have to remind myself of this. Quarantine vibes make it more challenging to be on any schedule but maybe that’s ok? Have you felt that with your life lately? If so, I’m right there with you angels! 💗✨ 🎨: @designbyaikonik

I just got out of the shower and was thinking of you loves. If you have a chronic illness and your relationship with your body is one of the most heartbreaking, soul shaping and breathtaking relationships of your life, I feel you. Whether it’s on edge a bit extra right now as we navigate all things pandemic or you’re going through a flare, I just know how heavy this can feel. Recently I’ve been dealing with so many ups and downs with my hormones, health, weight, skin, joints and overall inflammation and with every breathe, I feel you angels. I know we aren’t alone and even if this world isn’t setup to support us and we aren’t included in every campaign or fitness class, we matter. You matter. I just wanted to be sure you knew that. ALSO! One great way to make sure that at least this country and our healthcare system is on our side is to vote for @joebiden + @kamalaharris and get Trump OUT. Less than 3 months to go so please make sure you and all of your loved ones are registered. (Please remember sharing my health journey is not an invitation for unsolicited advice. Thanks!) love you 💗💗💗 #bidenkamala2020 #vote #chronicillness #truth #spoonie #butyoudontlooksick #autoimmune #immunocompromised #healthcare

HAPPY RAKHI NITIN 💗🙌🏽✨ Today is a very special holiday in the Hindu religion where we celebrate brotherhood and love. Although my brother and I have always been completely different in so many ways, I have always known that our hearts are the same. I remember tying a Rakhi on him (a simple string that you tie around the wrist as a blessing) when we were growing up and feeling so deeply connected to this tradition because it made me feel like I could help ensure my big brother would always be safe, happy and well. I wish the same for you now and forever Neets. I’m so proud of all that you have done (like become a doctor at age 40!!) in your life but more than anything, I’m proud to see the human you have become. Love you! #rakhi #hindu #love #family #brother 💗✨

CHRONICON IS NOMINATED FOR OUR FIRST AWARD! Well, actually 3 awards. And we need your help to win my loves. The WEGO health awards have been recognized across the health and patient advocacy spaces for years now and it would be such a dream come true to win an award for the work we are doing at Chronicon. CLICK THE LINK IN MY BIO TO ENDORSE US! We have been nominated for our work in advocacy, community and for our Instagram. I really couldn’t be more grateful or excited about it and it will only take you about 30 seconds to help us WIN. The reason why that would be so meaningful to me is because I think about how many more people who feel completely isolated, alone and even hopeless, who will now know that there is a community of people just waiting to love them at Chronicon. So please angels, share this with your people, click that bio link, endorse @chroniconofficial and let’s win at least one of these awards so we can help more people with a chronic illness. LOVE YOU! #wegohealthawards #chronicon #love

#ChallengeAccepted 💗👏🏽 I woke up to find my feed flooded with so many incredible women and felt inspired looking at all of their images, so I whole-heartedly ACCEPT this challenge and stand with these women as we use our voices to join forces. This often feels messy and awkward and hard lately, but one thing is for sure, we need each other more than ever. Thanks for nominating me @ashapateldesigns. #WomenSupportingWomen #WomenEmpowerment #vote I nominate my incredible friends @ravaldavis @paolamendoza @arinmaya @geminelle @camydn1 💗✨ EDITED: I’m posting this photo of myself in solidarity w/ the women whose b&w photos cover newspapers each morning announcing their deaths at the hands of femicide. this campaign *might* have started in Turkey, and femicide happens everywhere—women, the victims of brutal deaths at the hands of rage & despair filled men living in failed states. femicide is on the rise in every country where systems have broken—including the US where many indigenous women & girls are murdered & missing at alarming rates. I join the efforts of deceased & living women in Turkey, #pinargultekin in particular, whose legacy I will honor as I move forward, here on instagram as I continue to post, in my capacity as a voter in November & w/ every step I take as I try to move through this world as a contributing global citizen now very much focused, also, on FEMICIDE.

IF YOU WALKED BY ME ON THE STREET...you would have no idea that I am immunocompromised due to my medications and have 2 chronic illnesses. That COVID-19 could kill me faster than it could kill someone else with a healthy immune system. Not to mention that COVID-19 is still disproportionately impacting Black and Brown communities. PLEASE keep social distancing and wearing a mask. Please. Please. Please. 🙏🏽 #covid19 #wearadamnmask #wearamask #coronavirus #chronicillness #chronicillnesswarrior #spoonie #health 📷: @theunapologeticstreetseries

I co-wrote this song “Surrender” with my sisters @Geminelle, @iammelissamcmillan + @CamilleTrust to be the introduction for my podcast and the song was created to be a comfort and balm in the midst of so much pain that we in the chronic illness community have felt during our health journeys. But it is just as needed in this moment we are in. This video was taken the day we finished the chorus. Earlier we shared the full song and live performance over @ChroniconOfficial which was performed by Melissa,Camille, @ArinMaya and @JacksonCliffordFitz on the guitar. Please use that video as a soft place to land if it feels that way for you. I have personally been playing it on repeat and in moments of prayer and turmoil. I am going to share their individual handles and a swipe up link to their music in my stories. PLEASE FOLLOW THEM. SUPPORT THEM. And ENJOY their gifts because they are the real deal and their voices are pure magic. These women are true musicians and it’s important to highlight those who have been hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis as the gig economy for musicians has completely vanished. #chronicillness #spoonie #butyoudontlooksick #selflove #selfcare #resistancerevivalchorus #musicians
