The movement changing the way the world sees & supports chronic illness warriors
ABOUT US
Your body’s playing by different rules, but nobody gave you the handbook. “But you don’t look sick” is the soundtrack to your life because people don’t believe what they don’t understand. The struggle is real: brain fog, pain, flares, bone-deep exhaustion, isolation, strained relationships, and medical bills. We’ve lived every single one of these moments. We’re rewriting the narrative. Chronic illness isn’t a character flaw; it’s a daily battle that deserves recognition, support, and real solutions. We’re not here to cure you or fix you, you’re not broken. We’re here because chronic illness is hard enough without facing it alone. This movement is creating real community and practical solutions. Our aim is to make chronic illness less isolating & lonely and more bearable.
FOUNDERS
Meet the spoonies behind the movement, a mother and daughter duo and fellow warriors. While we don’t have control over our illness, we can choose to do something good with the cards we’ve been dealt.
Amanda brings decades of chronic illness experience and product testing expertise. If it claims to help spoonies, she’s happy to review it and give honest feedback.
Michelle uses her design and marketing skills to create a brand that’s accessible and tailored with spoonies in mind, because we’re tired of adapting to a world not made for us.
This is what spoonie-built and community-led looks like. By spoonies, for spoonies, with spoonies.

FAQ
Anyone dealing with chronic illness, invisible disabilities, or just needs a space where "but you don't look sick" isn't a thing. Spoonies, warriors, fighters whatever you call yourself, you're welcome here.
Nope! Our forum has all the social features you love plus powerful search so your conversations don't disappear into the void. No algorithm deciding what you see, no ads, just real connection.
The forum community is and will always remain completely free. Future offerings like courses and products will be priced fairly because we know medical bills are expensive enough already.
Not even close. We're here for the stuff your medical team doesn't have time for community, practical tips, and products that make daily life easier. Always follow your healthcare provider's advice.
Fair question! We don't promise miracle cures or overnight transformations. We're transparent about what we offer, honest about limitations, and focused on real, practical help.
Please do! This community is built with you, by you, for you. Your suggestions literally shape what we offer and how we grow. Head to the contact us page and send us a message.
