Where can you listen?

I'm Renee and in 2022, I caught Covid 19. It flipped my world upside down. I went from being a City Councillor for Palmerston North, to being bedbound and in a powerchair. I've now been diagnosed with Long Covid, Fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue. I'm still waiting on hospital departments so will probably end up with more diagnoses. I would say I'm now 3% of what I used to be.

I started this radio show/podcast to remind the world that there are loads of people in Aotearoa New Zealand who are struggling, and they need our support.

Each episode features:
- a special interest interview from an organisation, medical professional, politician or advocate
- a breathing exercise
- relaxing instrumental music
- an interview from someone with lived experience of chronic illness
- a Call to Action
