There’s more to us than managing symptoms, appointments and energy levels. We also have ideas. Interests. Businesses. Creative projects. Causes we care about. Things we’re building, learning, writing, making or dreaming about. So we’ve created a new Passion Projects space in the community. 💛 This is somewhere you can share something you’re working on that genuinely matters to you — whether it’s already out in the world or still just taking shape. Maybe you’re: ✨ Starting a business ✨ Writing a book ✨ Creating art, music or content ✨ Building a website or community ✨ Studying or learning something new ✨ Raising awareness for something you care about ✨ Working on a personal project ✨ Or quietly nurturing an idea you’d love to bring to life Tell us about it! What are you working on? Why does it matter to you? And is there a way this community could support you? That might simply mean taking a look, following your page, sharing some encouragement, giving feedback, or helping you make a useful connection. And if you’re not working on anything right now, that’s absolutely fine too — come have a look at what other members are creating and give them a little support. ❤️ One of the best things about building a community is discovering just how interesting the people inside it are. 👇 So, what’s your passion project?

Feeling like life has been put on hold since chronic illness entered the picture? The 5-Day Move Forward Challenge is designed to help you reconnect with who you are now, rediscover what still matters to you, and begin taking small, meaningful steps toward the life you want to build. Over five days, we'll explore identity, meaning, possibility and action — ending with your own personal Move Forward Plan. Start with Day 1: The Waiting Room, share your reflections in the community, and work through one challenge each day. No pressure to have everything figured out.

We're so glad you're here. If you've just watched our welcome videos, you'll know this community isn't about pretending chronic illness is easy. And it isn't about staying stuck either. It's about moving forward. Every person here has a different story, but many of us share the same feeling... Life changed, and we're trying to figure out what comes next. That's exactly why this community exists. We believe chronic illness may change your life, but it doesn't have to stop your life. Whether you're here to rebuild your confidence, rediscover your purpose, adapt to a new reality, or simply connect with people who genuinely understand, you're in the right place. We'd love to get to know you. 👇 Introduce yourself in the comments using these three prompts: 1. Where are you joining us from? 2. How long have you been living with chronic illness? (Or are you supporting someone who is?) 3. What's one area of your life you're ready to move forward with? Take a few minutes to read through the introductions and welcome a few other members too. This community grows stronger every time someone reaches out. Welcome to Chronic Illness Resilience. We're excited to be part of your journey.
