Practical Chronic Illness Support for Your Daily Life
The Thriving Spoonie offers practical tools, emotional support, and self-paced strategies to help you adapt—without the pressure to push through or pretend you’re fine.
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.
