## Resource

This week I sat down with Abigail Gagnon: podcast host of BeYOUtiful Legacy and chronic illness advocate as she shared her journey of living with chronic pain and the challenges of navigating life with invisible disabilities. Abigail opens up about her experiences with silent migraines, the struggle for diagnosis, and the emotional toll of being misunderstood. Listen in for how she found a purpose through podcasting & in doing so created a platform to connect with others and raise awareness for the Spoonie community.
