Ever wondered what it's like to live with a condition that's often misunderstood? Meet Kirstin, a spirited woman from the north of England, who has been navigating the complexities of lipedema for years. In this episode of the Recovery Crone Podcast, Kirstin opens up about her diagnosis journey and how she's managed to thrive despite the challenges.

Kirstin shares her personal experiences, shedding light on what it's really like to live with this condition. But her story doesn't stop there.

These communities have provided her with invaluable support and tools to manage not just her physical health, but her mental and emotional well-being as well.

They explore the idea of taking 'the next right action', a principle that has guided Kirstin through her recovery journey. Whether you're dealing with a chronic illness, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the intersection of health and recovery, Kirstin's story offers a blend of inspiration and practical advice.
