In this episode I talk to Lisa Stewart about her experience of living with ME, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. There is no known cause, diagnosis, or cure for ME, and it is an incredibly poorly understood illness. As a result, a lot of people who suffer from ME don’t get the support they need to navigate an experience that Lisa describes as a ‘half life’. As always, there are no easy answers. This is very much an episode on being the middle of what is, what it looks like to figure things out in your own way, in your own time.

What we talk about in this episode:

• Lisa’s first experience of ME and relapse
• #millionsmissing campaign
• Managing energy around using social media
• Spoon Theory and chronic illness
• Lisa’s childhood on Shetland
• Lisa’s Instagram and Etsy Shop
