Join the Aliving & Thriving Community

Real stories. Real support. Real joy — straight to your inbox.

Living with IBD, an ostomy, or chronic illness can feel isolating, but you don’t have to walk the journey alone. Through my Aliving & Thriving newsletter, I share honest reflections, patient advocacy, practical tips, and moments of humor that remind you it’s possible to live fully — even when life looks different than you imagined.

Every email is heartfelt, relatable, and designed to uplift, educate, and connect.

why join?

And your inbox deserves content that feels real, supportive, and empowering.
