Episode 17

Support in the Ups and Downs

In this mini episode of my Sharing the Mddl podcast, I talk about the ups and downs of chronic illness and the difficulties of asking for and accepting support. I also promote my newly released workbook, Support from the Middle, and share some personal updates in my Lacey Loves segment. The overall theme of the episode is the importance of support and vulnerability in navigating life's challenges.

As a mother, entrepreneur, and chronic illness advocate, she founded the Joyful Support Movement after her own health journey forced her to rebuild her life authentically. Through podcasts, courses, and community building, Lacey helps others navigate their "messy middle" without shame or perfection, because she believes everyone deserves genuine support. Her philosophy? "Life's better when we stop pretending and just embrace the plot." With master's degrees in Communication and Instructional Design, she combines professional expertise with raw human experience to create spaces where vulnerability is celebrated, authentic stories are shared, and people find the support they need.
