For chronically creative souls.

Welcome to The Chronicles — a space where I share what I’ve learned from living in a chronically ill body, and how creativity, curiosity, and slower adventures can still shape a full, adventerous life.

Here you’ll find practical advice on navigating endometriosis and chronic illness, travel tips from some of the most beautiful places I’ve explored (at a slower pace), and creative reflections that make space for low-energy days. I also share the occasional excerpt from my A+ ancient Egypt essays (yes, actually graded), alongside thoughts on history, storytelling, and what ruins, rest, and reinvention can teach us about resilience.

Think of it as trail notes from a chronic body - part guide, part story, part gentle reminder that adventure, creativity, and meaning don’t disappear when life slows down.

A super random thing I’ve been thinking about recently is my body and my relationship with exercise. The thing is, I actually love exercise. I love how it makes me feel. I know it’s good for my body and my mental health. But I’ve
Someone commented recently that since I’m “chronically ill” I might want to try “eating a healthy diet.” And honestly, comments like that say a lot more about our culture than they do about my health. The assumption be
If you’ve ever tried to describe chronic pain, you’ll know how hard it is to find the right words. This post is my attempt to put language to what living with endometriosis actually feels like. My husband, mum and people close to me have
