Rest, Resilience & Resthinking Productivity: A Deep Dive with Cathy Beederman (Part 2)
Episode description
In this continuation of my conversation with Cathy Beederman, we explore the creative ways she tracks her chronic illness symptoms, the importance of community, and the role of social media in connection and support. Cathy shares her experiences using health-tracking apps like Visible and Guava, the challenges of data collection, and how small adaptations—like voice dictation—help her stay engaged with her health. We also discuss the evolution of online communities, the importance of joy in daily life, and how we each navigate living with chronic illness. One of the things I really took away from this conversation is that as people who are chronically ill, we have to rethink what our lives look like when not measured by a productivity metric. Tune in for a heartfelt and insightful discussion on resilience, adaptation, and finding meaning in the digital age.
