Tips for Comfortably Working from Home with Chronic Pain

Working from home can be a double-edged sword for many people with chronic pain. On the one hand, it offers the flexibility and comfort to help manage pain. On the other hand, it presents unique challenges that can exacerbate pain and make work more difficult.

I quit my full-time job to start my own business six years ago. I still had (have) a side gig that I work part-time out of the house, but the rest of my time is spent at home coaching and creating. I didn’t know what I was doing when I started and was making everything up.

Gift Idea-- My Magic Carpet: A Magical Addition to My Living Space

Keeping the house clean isn’t easy with chronic pain, especially the floors. We opted for hardwood everywhere because they are much easier to take care of, but we miss the warmth and softness of a rug.

I needed something my pups couldn’t ruin, and if they did make a mess, it would be easy to clean. Nothing felt right until I found My Magic Carpet. This rug is stylish, cozy, and designed with incredible features that cater to my needs. In this review, I will share my experience with this machine-washable, stain-resistant, pet-friendly, and waterproof rug, highlighting how it has made my life easier while living with chronic pain.

Hey friends!

As the holidays ramp up and the motivation takes a dive… I am feeling like it’s time for a little social posting break.

I love posting and engaging on this app and I have a great community here… but posting lately has felt a little forced and stressful. I’m not really sure what I’m doing with my life right now which makes it hard to focus and actually produce anything of quality.

This has been an amazing year with a lot of ups and downs and I have made a lot of big changes. I am so excited to see what 2024 has in store for me.

I hope you all have an amazing holiday and please feel free to reach out in my DMs. I’m taking a posting break… but y’all know I will still be scrolling… otherwise the thoughts will get me… anyways

Merry whatever you celebrate and a happy new year ❤️❤️

It’s time to make your winter bucket list of things you want to do this year. The winter season is tough on us spoonies. The cold weather causes an increase in pain and fatigue symptoms for many.

I put together this list of fun spoonie-friendly activities I want to try to fit into these winter months. They are mostly things you can do around the home and low-key social options that will help you stay connected to friends and family.

Audiobooks are a big part of my life, and my goal today is to convince you to try audiobooks. Books and stories are essential to me. They are an escape, a distraction and a means of learning about and exploring my world in ways I wouldn’t be able to. As a person with chronic pain, I sometimes feel very stuck and limited in my life, but books can help by taking me to real and imagined places and out of the world that is not always that comfortable for me.

There is a lot of debate in the literary world over audiobooks. Many people feel like they don’t count as “reading.” Conveniently, I don’t often hear those people because I am busy listening to my book! This is an ableist and narrow-minded view on reading. Audiobooks are an excellent option for those with limited vision or struggling to hold up big books. It can be a way to pass the time that would otherwise be spent watching TV while resting, and significant if you have any learning disabilities like dyslexia. To overlook audiobooks would be doing yourself a disservice.
