Thoughts While Surviving Chronic Illness: Navigating Life With Sarcoidosis
Thoughts While Surviving Chronic Illness is a lived-experience podcast about navigating life with sarcoidosis, heart failure, and everything that comes with long-term illness that no one warns you about.
Hosted by Tate, a private chef living with cardiopulmonary sarcoidosis, this podcast explores what it’s really like to survive chronic illness—not just medically, but emotionally, mentally, and socially. From symptom flares and medical fatigue to identity shifts, dark humor, grief, resilience, and the quiet victories that keep you going, these episodes reflect real life as it’s actually lived.
This is not a medical podcast. There are no miracle cures or toxic positivity. Just honest conversations, personal reflections, and patient-voice storytelling for people living with chronic illness, rare disease, disability, or caring for someone who is.
If you’re navigating chronic illness, learning to live with sarcoidosis, or simply trying to make sense of a body that doesn’t follow the rules anymore—you’re not alone here.
New episodes share stories about surviving, adapting, and finding meaning in a life that looks different than expected.

Living with sarcoidosis has a way of changing how you hear the world. When your body is already loud with symptoms, appointments, and internal negotiations, silence stops feeling empty and starts feeling necessary. This reflection explores how quiet moments—unexpected, unplanned, and deeply human—became one of my most reliable survival tools.
