When you’re managing chronic illness, it helps to know you’re not alone. On the blog, I share honest stories from my own journey along with practical tips for living well. Whether you’re looking for pacing strategies, self-care ideas, or encouragement on tough days, you’ll find it here.

Living with chronic illness means navigating energy limits, unpredictable symptoms, and daily challenges most people never see. That’s why I’ve created free resources designed specifically for spoonies. From energy-saving strategies to daily setup checklists, these tools are here to help you feel more supported and in control.

Sometimes free resources aren’t enough — you want something deeper, more structured, and ready to use every day. That’s why I created my Complete Guide to Daily Chronic Illness Management. It’s a practical workbook designed to help spoonies manage energy, plan realistically, and move beyond survival mode with tools that actually work.

Hi, I’m April Smith –

I’m a queer chronic illness blogger and digital resource creator. I make low-pressure tools and compassionate content for spoonies navigating life with pain and limited energy.

I’m committed to creating inclusive, shame-free spaces for all spoonies—especially those who’ve felt unseen or left out in traditional wellness circles.

Everything here is built to help you adapt at your own pace—no fluff, no guilt, just real support that meets you where you are.
