Years ago, I scribbled this quote down on a sticky note and I’ve shared it multiple times: “Cope with what you can’t control. Command what you can control. That’s how you conquer the day.” This simple yet profound idea invites us to reflect on the nature of control, how it affects our well-being, and how we can better manage our emotions and decisions in a world filled with uncertainties. By understanding the distinction between what we can and cannot control, we can truly conquer each day with grace and purpose. Coping with What You Can’t Control Life is unpredictable, and…
We’ve all been there: You tell yourself, “OK, today is the day—I’m committing to a healthy weight loss plan to not only shed these pounds but keep them off.

I know what you’re thinking: you’ve read many, many articles with a similar title. The truth is, not only are there so many misconceptions about life with ulcerative colitis, but there are also new myths that pop up as the UC community expands, science advances, and knowledge spreads a wider net. I was diagnosed in 2001 at the young age of 14 years old, and I still uncover new assumptions that people – including myself – make about UC. That’s not to say there isn’t some truth to these assumptions; there’s always a little bit. But misconceptions are built on assumptions,…

It was 2:23 p.m. on a Wednesday, and I had shit to do. All my brain wanted was to work, but all my body wanted—desperately, infuriatingly—was to shut down. My eyelids drooped. My shoulders slumped. Halfway through transcribing a quote, my fingers stopped typing, and I slipped into a state of lethargy.It happens to me all the time: Smack in the middle of the afternoon, right when I want to be at my most productive, I get debilitatingly tired. That sudden midday bout of sleepiness, sometimes referred to as the “post-lunch dip,”1 descends upon me like a specter, hell-bent on…
