Episode Synopsis


Welcome to Reimagining Life, episode 5! In this episode we discuss how creativity can help people living with chronic pain, as well as the importance of finding or becoming your own advocate. Our guest, Jenni, is a Reimaginer-turned-professional-Reimaginer who has helped many people along her journey. She started a blog (before social media) to help others struggling with pain, and eventually became a lobbyist working to change an unjust law. This episode explores a) how creativity can engage all the senses, b) how people living with chronic illness and/or disability can become their own advocates or find someone to help, and c) what a difference one person can make by getting involved and using their voice to speak their truth.
