Time for another episode of the Chronically Healing Podcast! Today’s episode is with the founder of Lupus Chick, Marisa Zeppieri. Marisa and I chatted all about her experience with Lupus, getting run over by a drunk driver in her early teens, why she started Lupus Chick and so much more. We also dove into being a business owner with chronic illness, how to best nourish yourself during this life and the comparison game. I’m also super pumped for y’all to hear about her new book, Chronically Fabulous, that just came out!
In today’s episode we chat about:
The road to finding out that Marisa had Lupus and why the diagnosis can be difficult to get
Getting run over by a pickup truck by a drunk driver and going through rehab (and that triggered a bunch of her symptoms)
What prompted her to start Lupus Chick
The different modalities that she loves to nourish and take care of her body
What it’s like to be running a business with chronic illness
Comparing yourself to others with (or without) chronic illness and how we’ve gotten through that
Why Marisa decided to write Chronically Fabulous and what it’s about
