Welcome back into the PICKLE JAR. In this episode, Jill shares an update on her journey with Addison's Disease. At the start of March, she set goals to regain her strength physically. Knowing her month was busy with doctors' appointments, tests, and more she was trying to prepare for LIVING with Addison's.

She has made progress and is putting her effect to be in the NOW, to be in the MOMENT…to love herself unconditionally when her cortisol is low to persevere with life with a chronic illness. This weekend she won. She was in the moment. Asked herself what do I need NOW? What can she do TODAY to manage, survive, learn and win against ADDISON'S DISEASE? She isn't perfect but she made progress and that is how you live with a chronic illness.
