Because life with chronic illness deserves humor, hope, and a soft place to land.

Hey, I’m Meg—the voice behind Talk Lupus to Meg.

I was diagnosed with lupus when I was 17, which means I’ve spent my entire adult life navigating the chaos of autoimmune disease. Along the way, I picked up a few extra diagnoses (shoutout to Sjögren’s, RA, and fibromyalgia) and a whole lot of wisdom about what it really means to live in survival mode.

For years, I pushed through pain, burnout, and gaslighting, trying to be the version of myself I thought everyone needed. Somewhere along the way, I lost sight of who I was before the medical charts, before the meds, before the endless appointments.

How Talk Lupus to Meg began

This brand started as a tiny spark during one of my worst flares. Basically, a moment when I realized that surviving wasn’t enough anymore. I needed to feel seen, supported, and like myself again.

Talk Lupus to Meg became the space I wish I had years ago: a mix of survival tools, soft-life encouragement, and slightly dramatic humor for women living with chronic illness. My goal isn’t to fix you—it’s to help you find your own rhythm again and remember that you are more than your diagnosis.

From patient to patient leader

I’m proud to be a Certified Patient Leader through the Social Health Network, using my communications background to bridge the gap between patients, providers, and the real stories that get lost in the noise.

Everything I share, from The Flare Playbook to the emotional posts, comes from lived experience, research, and a desire to help you advocate for yourself with confidence and grace (and maybe a touch of sass).
