Nitika Chopra spent 15 years of her life resenting her diagnosis and living in a state of depression because of it. Now? Now, Nitika is a thriving entrepreneur and recently launched an incredible event in partnership with Healthline, Chronicon, aimed at bringing individuals with chronic illness together. In this episode Nitika and I dive into the grief that is experienced when diagnosed with chronic illness, prioritizing self love and self care in a chronic illness journey and her journey from depression to entrepreneur superstar. Follow Nitika’s journey on Instagram at @nitikachopora and nitikachopra.com and follow Chronicon on Instagram at @chroniconofficial and https://chronicon.co. Key quotes from this week’s episode: “We have to really own ourselves and own our truth and our story no matter what that might be” “There is that grief that happens and we have to own who we are and let go of what you thought you might be or what you thought society wanted you to be or what your parents wanted you to be” “We’re not just our illness. Our illness is just one part of us but we have multiple other parts of ourselves that are just as valid and important.”
