Thriving Together Relationships and Chronic Illness with Miss Mackenzee
2025-07-28 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | CA
Navigating the complexities of romantic relationships can be challenging, but when chronic illness is part of the equation, those challenges can often become even more daunting. When there are a lot of symptoms that are invisible, those suffering often have their experiences minimized or erased completely by society. Through heartfelt discussions, sharing personal stories, and guided exercises, we will delve into topics such as communication, emotional intimacy, and setting boundaries that respect all partners’ needs.
Attendees will gain valuable tools and strategies for fostering deeper connections, enhancing understanding, and creating a supportive environment where love can thrive. We will also discuss ways to create a support system that includes not only partners but also friends, family, and healthcare providers. By the end of this class, you will leave with a renewed sense of hope and practical skills to nurture your relationships. Whether you’re newly navigating the waters of chronic illness or seeking to enhance an ongoing partnership, we offer a safe space to learn, share, and connect with others who truly understand your journey. Join us and discover how to cultivate lasting connections that honor your unique experience.
Let’s further discuss:

Creating intentional space to practice kink or other forms of intimacy
Self care because you can’t pour from an empty cup
The spoon theory and how it may apply to you
Ways to support your partner, physically and emotionally, when chronic pain strikes
Resources to help you beyond this class
Practical tips for managing differences in energy levels
Identify and work through feelings of guilt, frustration, and isolation that may arise

Partners, friends, and loved ones are welcome to attend this class as there will also be conversations on how to best support those in our lives that live with chronic illness. This workshop is meant to be an inclusive environment that is accommodating for all types of people. You can participate in a way that feels comfortable for you, whether that’s having your camera on, joining in the chat, or remaining anonymous while taking in all the information. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any accessibility needs.
