About Me

Welcome. I’m Jules, and this is where I share my journey—an honest look at life with chronic conditions. My story took an unexpected turn in my 30s when a series of diagnoses—epilepsy, chronic pain, fatigue, and diabetes—forced me to rethink who I am and how I navigate the world.

This blog isn’t about painting a rosy picture or offering quick fixes. It’s about the ups and downs, the days when getting out of bed feels like a victory, and the nights when sleep is elusive. My goal is to get stronger, defy the odds, and turn things around, even when that seems impossible. I’m learning to focus on being gentle and persistent—two things I once believed were stark opposites but now see as essential partners in this journey.

I’m here to share what works for me, what doesn’t, and the truths I’m uncovering along the way—whether it’s managing symptoms, finding small moments of peace, or grappling with the emotional weight of it all.

Maybe something here will resonate with you if you find yourself in a similar place. This is real life, unfiltered—about how to pivot when you thought you’d already defined yourself.
