Living with Long covid

This podcast aims to raise awareness of long covid, provide a platform of support, education and the lived experience.My name is Julie, I am a registered nurse in the UK. I became unwell with Covid in May 2020 while working on the front line, during the first wave of the pandemic. Subsequently I live with long covid and POTS ( postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). I would like to share my journey and lived experience, the symptoms and how each impacts daily life. I aim to not only consider the physical issues but also the impact this has had mentally and emotionally. It is reported over 2 million people in the UK and an estimated 65 million worldwide, live with long covid. This is huge, and affects every area of a persons life, their family, friendships and work life. Join me and some great guests and let’s Learn, advocate and continue this journey together.

It is Christmas Eve 2023 and on this episode of the podcast I talk about creating healthy boundaries.
What are healthy boundaries? how can we set and manage healthy boundaries in our lives?
I discuss how important healthy boundaries are to support our health and wellbeing. How setting boundaries support open, honest and healthy relationships. I appreciate setting boundaries can be a challenge, we have expectations of ourselves and people have expectations of us! The expectations can often be unrealistic and this creates a risk of us over extending our energy envelope and risks a crash/relapse, having and maintaining healthy boundaries can reduce those expectations and avoid symptom exacerbation.
I offer some tips and examples on setting some healthy boundaries, I hope you find this episode of the podcast useful, as always one day and a time and take care.
Merry Christmas and I will see you in the new year!
