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.

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.

After years of trying to fit myself into wellness spaces that didn’t reflect sick or disabled bodies, I wanted to build something different. No “push through,” no forced positivity — just real, practical support shaped by lived experience and grounded in what actually helps on unpredictable days.

My background in life coaching and yoga psychology informs how I approach energy, pacing, and gentle adaptability, but everything here is rooted in real life. You’ll find resources designed to meet you where you are and help you make sustainable adjustments that work for your body, not against it.
