How Creativity Builds a Full Life for Chronic Illness Warriors

In this week’s episode of Calling in Sick, I’m joined by comedian and content creator, Joe Glasgow (@joeglasgowshow). We talk about his plunge into the chronic illness life and how leaning into creativity and comedy has shaped how he has processed and navigated the sick life. Tune in to hear about our symptom “upgrades,” how we navigate being “two faced” and an enlightening discussion on what brings all these different disease profiles together into one community. Joe said it best during the episode, the world may not be curated for the chronically ill… but the chronic ill social media space is, and so is this episode. So get ready for your face to hurt from smiling and laughing so hard during this episode… and as always, thanks for joining me for another Monday of Calling in Sick! xx, Alex Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to another episode of Calling In Sick! 00:05:57 Alex’s Wellness Picks of the Week 00:08:08 This episode of Calling In Sick is sponsored by Malla 00:10:15 Introduction to Joe Glasgow (@joeglasgowshow) 00:12:00 Joe’s BC/AC (before Covid/after Covid) 00:17:45 Alex & Joe’s current headspace 00:25:40 Disease upgrades/downgrades 00:31:25 Living in the gray space 00:36:15 Social anxiety 00:39:07 Chronic illness content creation 00:48:45 Creating children’s books 00:53:00 How creativity builds a full life for those with chronic illness 00:57:18 Thank you for listening! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to the sponsors for this episode: For a limited time, use the code “CallingInSick” for 25% off your first session on Malla.co.
