When Life Changes Overnight: Brooke Campbell Bayes on living with Chronic Illness

The Aging Project

Show Notes

Today’s conversation might just shift the way you see the world — and the people in it.

Because chronic illness isn’t rare. It’s everywhere. It’s the invisible battle so many people are fighting — quietly, bravely — while going about their everyday lives.

And when it strikes, it doesn’t just touch the body. It reshapes everything: careers, relationships, dreams, even how you move through a single day.

The truth is, most of us are already connected to chronic illness — either living with it ourselves, or loving someone who is.

But we don’t often stop to talk about what that really feels like — or what it truly takes to keep showing up.

Today, we’re opening that conversation with Brooke Campbell Bayes — whose life changed overnight, from healthy one day to a diagnosis she never saw coming..
