    Topic: Balancing Advocacy and Self-care

    “My biggest struggle isn’t my physical health deteriorating, but rather everything else required to stay alive: disability insurance, medication coverage, access to treatments like Trikafta, or even working full-time.” — Chloe Lussier-Labelle

    @cluss019 shares her thoughts about the importance of advocacy, but also knowing when to take a step back and focus on self-care. Read her full story on Instagram or CFNewsToday.com

    We talk about self-care on this forum from time to time, and I think Chloe makes a great point: focusing on our physical and mental health is self-care. Not the bubble bath/manicure/retail therapy kind of self-care influencers on the internet love to sell, but the kind of self-care that has a lasting impact.

    Do you think of treatments, medications, doctors appointments, etc. as a form of self-care?
