Smiling Sonia: Thriving with a Chronic Illness

Smiling Sonia

Hi Smiling Sonia here. This is an audio journal where I share how I've overcome challenges to move from just living to striving with a chronic illness. In 2013 I was eventually diagnosed with Mollaret's Meningitis. I have overcome 6 recurrent episodes of viral meningitis so far in my lifetime. I got fed up of worrying every time I went off sick and returned to work early before I was fully recovered. That changed when I built an emergency fund. Now I have financial stability and the peace of mind that I have enough money to cover emergencies and future financial goals.

165. Protecting Yourself with Insurance

Today's episode of my viral meningitis recovery journal was recorded on 13/02/21. I haven't recorded in a while mainly because it's been snowing and I've not wanted to put myself at risk. I also wanted to spend some time just reviewing and monitoring myself because I've been so tired. I talk about insuring ourselves against sh** happening.
