About this listen

Katya and Hannah are young women and old friends who somehow both ended up with long covid. Hannah got sick first in March 2020, and, when Katya 'joined the club' (as Hannah jokes) in September 21, our friendship became a bit of a life support. Our regular phone calls in which we laughed and cried about our changing bodies and lives were such a source of comfort that, in September 2022, we decided to record them.

Join us in this new series where we discuss the highs and lows of living a life with less energy than you thought you'd have. We talk about self-care, work, relationships, mental health and more. If you're living with fatigue, long covid, or have your energy bounded in any other way - this one's for you.

Warning: We have a rather dark sense of humour and are prone to not taking things too seriously. Our energy may be bounded, but our spirits are still fairly buoyant; our conversations can be tangential, and sometimes our laughing fits prevent us from finishing sentences. We spend most of our conversations looking up and on the bright side. When we say things like 'You know what really helps with long covid? A cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit' - we are not giving medical advice ;)
