"Drop everything now" - it’s time to do a deep dive into how Taylor Swift’s music helps us cope with chronic illness!
In this episode, Cheryl discusses the major themes in Taylor Swift’s music that relate to the chronic illness experience, from the “Haunting” experience of a medication not working anymore to my own “Anti Heroic” immune system to the constant question of “Are We Out of the Woods yet?” when in a flare up.
After weaving in and out her own experience with rheumatoid arthritis and anxiety with listener contributions, Cheryl concludes by exploring the the “State of Grace” we experience when we connect with the chronic illness community. Throughout, she shares how she’s learned to accept what’s out of her control and the empowerment of acknowledging that while my journey might have been rocky, “Long Story Short: I Survived.”
