Reimagining You

Finding identity, meaning, and purpose when life doesn’t look the way it used to.

“Loss of function.” It’s a phrase that feels clinical and detached, but anyone living with chronic illness, post-viral fatigue, cognitive changes, or sudden physical limitations knows that phrase barely scratches the surface. It doesn’t convey the ripple of loss that stretches far beyond the body and reaches deep into the parts of yourself that used to feel familiar and essential.

When you can’t cook your favorite meals, drive yourself to work, shower independently, hold your child, or focus on a task, it isn’t just about energy.
