Summary
What would life look like if you couldn't eat? In this powerful episode of You Look Happier, I sit down with Steph McNaney, who has been living with gastroparesis and intestinal failure and has not eaten food for nearly three years. Steph shares the reality of living with a life-altering invisible illness, the challenges of receiving a diagnosis, the physical and emotional impact of losing something most of us take for granted, and how she has navigated grief, resilience and hope throughout her journey. We talk openly about chronic illness, identity, mental health, relationships, and what it truly means to keep moving forward when life doesn't go as planned. This is an honest, inspiring and eye-opening conversation that will leave you with a new perspective on the everyday things many of us take for granted. ⚠️ This episode contains discussions around chronic illness, medical treatment and mental health. https://www.instagram.com/thenogutsallglorystory/ Hosted on Acast.
