Hi, there! Nice to meet you.

🙋‍♀️ I’m Carolyn. I’m 28 and identify as she/her. You may know me as the the voice behind @chronically_cheerful, an online community for anyone seeking support, solace, and a safe space while navigating wellness challenges — especially those with a chronic illness or invisible disability.

🧠 I’ve spent the past 3-4 years as a professional patient, exploring treatments and techniques across Western and Eastern medicine in an effort to better manage, learn about and treat my chronic pain.

🔎 I know firsthand how working to feel better can be incredibly isolating and disheartening.

🌎 When we come together to share our experiences, we normalize the whole spectrum of being human and actually help each other to heal.
