In this episode, I reflect on a question I was asked recently:

“What do you do all day?”

It sounds simple, but living with Long Covid means the answer is anything but. I share an honest “day in the life,” from waking with fatigue, attempting small wins like walking the dogs, to the crashes, pacing decisions, and quiet frustration that often shape my days. I also talk about the boredom and guilt that can come with enforced rest, the invisible work of managing energy that most people never see.

If you’ve ever wondered what chronic illness life really looks like behind closed doors, this episode offers a window.

In this episode of Life with Long Covid, I reflect on what illness quietly teaches us about control.

Long Covid doesn’t just disrupt plans or routines; it exposes how much of life we assumed we were managing in the first place. When the body becomes unpredictable, effort no longer guarantees outcomes, and familiar systems stop working, the illusion of control begins to unravel.

If you’re living with Long Covid, chronic illness, or simply feeling worn down by the pressure to hold everything together, this episode is for you.
