In this episode of Operation Be, I introduce my first guest ever on the podcast-my partner in life, Tony Twist. Join us as we dive deep into the complexities of living with chronic illness and how it has affected our relationship over the years.

Tony shares his perspective on supporting a loved one through health challenges, the evolution of our relationship, and the lessons we've learned together. Whether you or someone you know is dealing with similar struggles, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical advice for navigating these experiences together.

Finding someone that is willing to navigate this challenging journey is HARD. Finding someone that has the strength to figure it out with you is HARDER.

I am honored to share from this perspective with gratitude for Tony, and complete encouragement that there are absolutely people out there who will do the work with you. Tune in…💋
