Writing Through Illness, Disability & Trauma
Courageous writing where invisible battles become visible
Hi, I’m Meagan — a writer, advocate, and unapologetic chocoholic 🍫 navigating the messy middle of chronic illness, disability, and trauma. I use storytelling (and the occasional snarky metaphor) to make invisible battles visible — and a little less lonely. Whether you’re wrestling with doctors, red tape, or your own body, you’ll find words here that get it. And yes, there will be chocolate.
Making the Invisible Visible : One Word at a Time
As a writer living with chronic illness, trauma, and a fierce love for creative expression, I believe our hardest experiences often hold our most meaningful stories.
For decades, I’ve been writing my way through medical mysteries, disability, and healing journeys — discovering that visibility isn’t just about being seen, but about choosing how to be seen when the world wants to write your story for you.
This space is for anyone who’s ever felt invisible in a waiting room, overwhelmed by red tape, or unsure how to put the unspoken into words.
