Living Chronic
Welcome to the Living Chronic Podcast, where we have real, raw, and honest conversations about life with chronic illness and disability. Hosted by Brandy Schantz, a disabled veteran and chronic illness advocate, this podcast explores the realities of navigating work, healthcare, and everyday life while managing a disability or chronic condition.
Each episode features insightful discussions with medical professionals, disability advocates, and individuals sharing their personal journeys. We tackle topics such as workplace accommodations, navigating the healthcare system, mental health, and breaking down societal barriers that often hold disabled individuals back.
Whether you're living with a chronic condition, supporting a loved one, or looking to create a more inclusive world, Living Chronic is here to provide knowledge, inspiration, and a sense of community.
Join us as we change the conversation around chronic illness because thriving with a disability is not only possible but powerful.

Advocacy Day!

This week I participated in Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's Advocacy Day on the Hill. It's important that we as patients advocate for ourselves, not just in the medical setting, but in the policy setting as well. This week we advocated for 2 bills in particular, Safe Step Act and HELP Copays but there is so much more that can be done to help patients and the disabled. Let's get involved and do what we can to save ourselves!
