Hello my little ducklings! In this solo episode, I’m back after a few tough weeks, here to catch up and chat about life with ME/CFS, post-exertional malaise, and the ways I’ve been coping. From audiobooks (and my new “brain fog ratings” for each one) to podcasts that are giving me life, I’m sharing my latest finds and recommendations, including some great listens from Christina Applegate, Jamie Lynn Sigler, and Nora McInerney.

On a more serious note, I’m navigating a big healthcare switch for 2025 and learning just how complicated finding continuity of care can be. I’m updating you on the steps I’m taking, my concerns, and why staying with my Stanford specialists is a top priority.

Plus, a little chat about cannabis—my go-to pain relief and how it’s honestly been a lifeline that helps keep me from being completely bedbound.

Thanks for sticking with me, for every listen, rating, and review. It truly helps keep this show going! So join me for a cozy chat about books, crummy weather, weed, and the messy reality of managing chronic illness.
