A Lovely New Way to Connect in Mobilates Mob
by Callie Di Nello A white lady with brown hair, wearing sunglasses, sitting on a park bench reading a book. Her purple mobility scooter is next to her.

Our wonderful Leanne recently shared a post, which I think will resonate with too many of us. She asked us to record short videos about times we’d been dismissed or mistreated by medical professionals. The response was overwhelming, because, sadly, so many of us have a story, usually multiple stories.
It Wasn’t Just a Tick Bite 😱
So, can you believe it? I’ve got Lyme Disease. On top of everything else I’m already managing with hormones and endometriosis, this feels like a cruel extra. I don’t feel that great to be honest.
If you want to reinvent yourself – rest
Many of us think of springtime as a time for change and action. But what if we’re all just too tired? Research proves that rest is a…
Take it one moment at a time and just hold on
