These podcasts are extremely helpful. You really have caused me to start to change some of my thinking patterns around my illnesses. Thank you ❤. You are so wise beyond your years.

I stumbled on your KZfaq channel a few months ago after a minimalism video. I have loved your videos since and I love these podcasts! These principles are important for everyone...not just those struggling with chronic illness. ❤️

I do get resentful of people when they complain about (to me) minor and temporary health issues. But only when they make a really big deal out if it. I have some friends like this that makes huge drama and cancel on plans etc when I have popped extra pills and made a huge effort to show up despite all my struggles and just want to spend a nice time and forget my issues. And then to either be cancelled on last minute (sometimes when I’ve already taken the effort to show up at the place) or to show up but get to listen to complaints about their percived hardship.. and no questions asked about how I feel because ”well, your always ill right, whats the point in asking”… I have some clearing out of friends to do… 😞😓

I’m so excited for this podcast! These are some great healthy perspectives you’re offering. A lot of the time the truth can be painful and our solution might be in the place we least want to look or least expect to find. Thank you for this video Aimee!

Ohhh, this was just what I needed today!! Thank you so much💗

This is my favorite episode so far! You're doing a great job and I love listening to you.

I guess...I would like people to recall that I'm making an extra effort all the time to do all the things they do constantly. They just forget. Because they see results all the time. They see only what I work everyday to "build". And then I have to reality check them.

This is a great episode. This matter is hard for me in a different way, I don’t expect anyone to understand how I feel because they are not me. I don’t have expectations of people understanding or listening to me. Certain people in my life really try and ask me questions that are hard to answer. I actually find it hard to explain how I feel sometimes I just say the same thing, “same as yesterday or worse today or extremely exhausted or can’t move”. But sometimes I can talk a lot like word vomit. There is a person in my life that really doesn’t understand which I like I said I don’t expect that, but this person always tells me I’m negative but it’s not so much that, they asked me how I feel and some days are worse as we all know. What I struggle with is being cut off and talked at and told how I should be or that I should take my life back. I am not the same person so that’s not going to happen I just have to learn to live now and going forward. But this person is in denial for me if that makes sense. When I explain this to that person that’s what they don’t understand which really bothers me. Any advice hope I made sense

Great episode Aimee. Thank you. When it comes to cooking or baking for people, I always say to the person, "If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it, I won't be offended." A lot of times I followed a recipe so if they don't like it I just figure they don't like that recipe. But even if I made it up, like you said, everyone has different tastes.

I'm totally hooked on your podcasts. Thank you so much for challenging my thought processes.

Also, what if you are so sick, that you don't have the energy to take care of yourself. I've been in that place for 8 months. So I REALLY need others to take care of me. I've communicated that, but very few respond, and it makes me feel very much rejected.

You’re offering terrific feedback… keep sharing your experience and what you’ve learned! 👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼✝️

I needed this message today 💜💜 Thank you!! And PS… those big purple glasses were the best and you’re BEAUTIFUL!!

thank you

Fantastic advice!

Unfortunately even though my mom takes care of me she doesn't understand my illness and the chronic pain and difficulty it causes. she even said 'Why are you walking like that', when I walk this way normally but im in more pain and she doesn't understand it. I just want her to know that I can't do things like everyone else.

Please don't let Mormonism guilt trip you into having more babies than your body is ok with. I left a very controlling church similar to mormonism, and while I was supposed to believe in miracles to heal the sick, it put me in danger of taking care of myself and my body out of guilt for not having enough faith!

Do worry about what others think. Focus on God. Most People do t have Empathy...They just don't. It's called selfishness.

Chronic pain is not a life
