Question
How does Karissa Fox balance personal life and her advocacy work?
Answer
Balancing personal life and advocacy work can be challenging, especially when dealing with chronic illnesses. However, I've found my own rhythm in managing both. I spend a significant amount of time in bed due to my health conditions, but I still make it a point to show up, create, and move forward bit by bit.
I've found that small changes do add up and even the quietest progress is still progress. I've also learned that rest is productive and healing is not linear. These realizations have helped me manage my personal life and my advocacy work.
I also use supplements that have been game-changers for me, giving me a little more energy, strength, and clarity each week. This has allowed me to do things like recording podcasts, visiting stores, and spending time with my nieces, while also advocating for others dealing with similar health challenges.
Remember, it's all about finding what works for you and taking it one step at a time. How do you balance your personal life and other commitments?
