Join Bonni as she gets personal about all things EDS, with filmmaker and EDS warrior Jen Kain. They discuss Jen's upcoming documentary, "Exhausted Existence: An EDS Story”, which explores living with chronic illness through a therapeutic lens.
Bonni and Jen share tears and laughs as they discuss their common struggles, coping strategies, and what keeps them going through it all. They talk about mental health, dynamic disability, living with unpredictability, societal judgments, and other tribulations of living with a chronic, invisible illness.
One needn't have EDS or HSD to appreciate this conversation or the film's premise, as it’s relatable to anyone living with chronic illness or who knows someone with a chronic health condition.
