In this episode, Adrianne welcomes old pal and fellow nurse, Mikhayla Crawford, to discuss her experiences living as a person, student, and nurse with an invisible autoimmune illness. Many thanks to Mikhayla for sharing her deeply personal experiences with us, so that we might have a better idea of how to be an ally to those nurses around us with chronic illness.

In this episode they discuss things like:
- Working during the holidays
- Moving across the country as a new grad
- Her diagnosis and first encounters with nurses
- Surviving clinicals
- Invisible illness and its struggles
- How to be an ally for nurses with chronic illness
- Advice for nursing students with chronic illness
…and more.
