About this listen

We talk a lot about surviving chronic illness. Today we’re gently challenging the way we define independence. What if losing physical capability doesn’t mean losing strength? What if dependence isn’t failure?

This episode explores grief, identity, and how faith reshapes what it means to live fully in a body that doesn’t cooperate. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Why losing independence feels deeper than inconvenience
The hidden fear of becoming a burden
How faith reframes dependence without minimizing grief
A small shift that helps you live fully inside limitation
