Episode notes

Firstly I want to thank everyone for their patience when we were unable to release an episode last week. It’s been a big few weeks in the Flynn household and sometimes you just have to admit you can’t do everything.

If you were in our Facebook group you would have seen that my daughter Jess has been quite sick and I just didn’t have capacity.

But I was talking to Jess and I said I didn’t think I’d be able to release an episode this week as well and with her blessing we came up with a plan. Why not interview her and share her story.

She is my biggest inspiration when things get tough and one of the most inspirational and resilient people I know and I am so excited to have her join me on the podcast.

In this episode Jess shares:

- Her back story and what’s been happening for the last 12 years for her with a Chronic Illness

- What it's like for her when she has a relapse

- Her greatest challenge with this disease

- What it would look like if she went to school for 45 minutes while relapsing

- What she's looking forward to for her future

- Her mantras or words she tells herself

- Her greatest fear at the moment

- What she would do differently as a parent
