Adapted from one of the most-read posts on my blog, let's have a chat about the pitfalls of overexertion when you have a chronic illness... especially when you're still carrying a lot of internalised ableism and have unrealistic expectations of your capabilities. This blog post was written around 2019/2020 and although I've come a long way since then and take much better care of myself than I used to, a lot of it still very much holds true. Much love to anybody trying to muddle their way through a similar minefield!

Hello! My name is Pippa Stacey and I’m a disabled writer, speaker, and communication consultant based in York. I enjoy theatre, books, and fundraising, and can most often be found wearing some form of pyjamas and drinking *all* the tea.
I acquired my chronic illness as a young adult and struggle daily with the challenges of living my best life alongside managing a debilitating health condition. However, I’ve finally learned that I don’t have to ‘overcome’ or ‘defy’ my illness in order to be successful, and I know now that there’s nobody’s path you have to follow but your own.
You can find out more by visiting www.lifeofpippa.co.uk, and subscribe to see videos about being a disabled freelancer, enjoying travel and little adventures, and learning to find the good in every day. Thank you so much for being here!
