Welcome to The Content Club pod, with your host Jess Bruno! We’re continuing our series interviewing small business owners living with chronic illnesses.

In today’s episode, we’re chatting with Lucy Howell, who lives with Graves' disease, fibromyalgia and other autoimmune conditions.

Lucy is a virtual assistant who helps parents and podcasters with their business tasks, podcast promotion, and Pinterest marketing.

As a working mum herself, she understands that parents face different challenges than other business owners, and so wants to make their lives a little bit easier.

Recognising that everyone is unique with specific needs, she prioritises a personal approach, because, come on… when has one size fit anyone?!

Tune into this episode where we cover:

• Lucy’s long journey of piecing together her health issues and finally getting her diagnoses.

• Jess and Lucy discuss how scary it is to suffer heart palpitations alongside other unknown health conditions in your early twenties.

• The frustration when people and workplaces don’t understand or take autoimmune diseases as seriously as other medical conditions.

• How Lucy transitioned from being a dental nurse to running her own business after her newborn son was diagnosed with the same condition.

• How easy it is to develop an opioid addiction to help cope with chronic pain, and the symptoms that arise when you try to come off them.

• The challenges Lucy faces when creating content for her business, including time constraints and impostor syndrome.

• How AI tools have been helpful for Lucy in coming up with content ideas.
