Loneliness and Isolation living with a chronic health condition
Season 1 · Episode 84
lundi 16 mars 2026 • Duration 30:25
Loneliness and isolation are experiences many people describe when living with a chronic health condition. Sometimes it’s the reality of relationships changing or people drifting away. Other times, it’s a quieter loneliness - the feeling of being surrounded by people who care, yet still feeling alone in an experience that others may not fully understand. In this episode, we explore what loneliness can feel like when you’re living with a chronic condition, why it happens, and some gentle ways people begin to reconnect - with others and with themselves - even while life has changed.

Introverts, Extroverts & Your Social Battery - Why It Matters When You Live With a Chronic Illness
Season 1 · Episode 73
lundi 5 janvier 2026 • Duration 31:33
In this episode, Sally and Seona unpack what introversion and extroversion really mean — and why understanding your social energy becomes even more important when you’re living with a chronic health condition.
They explore how chronic illness can change your social battery, why socialising may feel more draining or complicated than it used to, and how this isn’t a personal failing but a nervous system reality. The conversation offers language for guilt, grief, and shifting capacity, and practical ways to pace social connection more kindly.
Whether you need more solitude, crave connection but tire quickly, or feel caught between the two, this episode helps you better understand your energy, set gentler boundaries, and honour both who you are and what your body needs.

Looking Back with Kindness, Moving Forward with Intention
Season 1 · Episode 72
mardi 30 décembre 2025 • Duration 38:31
As 2025 comes to a close, Sally and Seona invite you to pause, breathe, and reflect — gently. In this episode, they look back on the year that was and talk about why reflection can be especially meaningful (and complicated) for people living with chronic health conditions. Together, they explore how to acknowledge challenges, honour invisible effort, and make sense of change without slipping into self-blame or pressure.
The conversation then turns toward 2026, with a focus on setting intentions rather than rigid goals. Sally and Seona share their own reflections and intentions, and discuss how values-based, flexible intentions can better support fluctuating energy, health, and capacity.
This episode is a compassionate end-of-year check-in — a reminder that rest is productive, pausing is allowed, and growth doesn’t have to look loud or linear. Wherever you’re landing at the end of this year, you’re welcome here.

Join psychologists Sally and Seona for a fun, heart-warming dive into the world of pets and the surprising ways they can boost our wellbeing - especially when living with a chronic health condition.

Can We Talk? Effective Communication for Real Life
Season 1 · Episode 69
lundi 1 décembre 2025 • Duration 43:37
Communication feels like it should come naturally — we speak every day, after all — but real, effective communication isn’t instinctive. It’s a learned skill, not a personality trait. And if you’ve ever thought, “I’m just not good at communicating,” here’s the good news: you absolutely can learn it, strengthen it, and make it work for you.
In this episode, we unpack why communicating can feel so much harder when you’re juggling symptoms, fatigue, emotions, or just the general overwhelm of life. Because let’s be honest — expressing your needs, setting boundaries, or navigating tricky conversations takes energy… and sometimes you simply don’t have much to give.
We’re here to normalise it: you’re not bad at communicating — you’re tired, stretched, and human. Join us as we explore practical, compassionate ways to communicate more clearly, kindly, and confidently, even when you’re not at your best.

Running on Spoons
Season 1 · Episode 68
lundi 24 novembre 2025 • Duration 32:27
Ever wondered why people with chronic illness talk so much about spoons?
In today’s episode, psychologists Sally and Seona dive into Spoon Theory - the cutlery-based metaphor that attempts to explain what it’s like to navigate life with limited energy. They unpack the origin story of the theory, created in 2003 by writer Christine Miserandino, who used a handful of spoons in a restaurant to explain the invisible daily costs of living with lupus.
Sally and Seona chat about why the spoon metaphor resonates so deeply with people living with chronic health conditions, how it helps with communication, pacing and planning, and why “spoonies” everywhere have proudly embraced it. Expect laughs, real-life examples, and gentle validation for anyone who’s ever had to choose between washing their hair or answering an email.
Whether you're running on one spoon or a full drawer, this episode is for you.

The Pity Model: When Good Intentions Miss the Mark
Season 1 · Episode 67
mardi 18 novembre 2025 • Duration 30:58
We often hear about the medical and social models of disability — but there’s another one quietly shaping attitudes toward people with chronic illness and disability: the pity model, sometimes called the charity model.
This model positions people as tragic or brave simply for existing, creating distance rather than connection. It can show up in fundraising drives, well-meaning comments, or systems that treat support as generosity rather than rights.
In this episode, we unpack how pity disguises itself as kindness, how it impacts self-worth and inclusion, and what it takes to move from sympathy to solidarity.
