What happens when chronic illness forces you to prioritize your life’s passions? In this conversation, Rachel Katz interviews Erica Vipond, a fiction writer diagnosed with a nerve-affecting autoimmune condition, to explore how these challenges reshaped her creative priorities. Erica shares how her chronic pain led her to let go of less vital pursuits, like a magazine she created, to focus solely on writing—her lifelong passion. Us type A-s know how hard it is to let go of a goal, right? Sometimes it’s just what we need to do to adjust to a new reality. This is the story of how Erica did just that.
