About

I’m Alex Jean, your new bestie as you go through your chronic illness journey. I’ve been living with chronic illnesses since my early teens and have learned a lot throughout that time.

I created Simply Alex Jean as a Lifestyle blog and quickly learned I loved sharing my stories, advice, and general knowledge about chronic illness. This blog was born from that passion and from that want to help others, as many did for me.

When you live with a chronic illness it’s easy to feel invisible. To feel like you’re the only person who is going through this, or the people around you just don’t get it.

That’s why a community with other folks who live and learn to love their bodies again with chronic illness can be so powerful.

I have learned a plethora of lessons, and of the best pieces of advice I can pass along is to be gentle with yourself. Self-love with chronic illness can be incredibly powerful for not only your physical health but emotional health too.

So no matter where you are on your journey with chronic illness, I hope this site provides a bit of hope, joy, and connection for you.
