Welcome to the very first episode of Still Showing Up with Lois Bolton. 💙

Honestly… recording this episode pushed me completely outside of my comfort zone.

In this episode, I’m sharing my heart about living with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus, dealing with chronic illness behind the scenes, and why I finally decided to stop letting fear hold me back from using my voice.

For a long time, I kept thinking:

“What if nobody listens?”

“What if I mess up?”

“What if I’m not good enough?”

“What if people judge me?”


But I also realized there are so many people silently struggling every single day while still trying to show up for life, family, work, relationships, faith, and themselves.

And maybe somebody out there simply needs to hear: “You’re not alone.”

This podcast is being created as a safe and honest space for real conversations surrounding:

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Lupus

autoimmune disease

chronic pain

fatigue

brain fog

emotional exhaustion

invisible illness

faith

motherhood

mental health

healing

resilience

and learning how to keep going one day at a time


This isn’t a polished or perfect podcast. Some days I may sound tired. Some days emotional. Some days hopeful. Some days honest about struggling. But my goal is to create a space where people living with chronic illness feel seen, understood, encouraged, and supported.

In this first episode, I talk about: ✨ What inspired me to finally start this podcast
✨ The emotional side of autoimmune disease
✨ The pressure of trying to stay strong
✨ Feeling invisible while fighting invisible illness
✨ Why vulnerability scares me
✨ Learning to keep showing up despite fear
✨ Giving myself permission to start imperfectly

If you are someone living with chronic illness, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, mental exhaustion, or simply navigating hard seasons in life, I hope this podcast reminds you that your story still matters and your life still has purpose — even on the difficult days.

Thank you for being here from the very beginning of this journey with me. Your support truly means more than you know. 💙

Please subscribe, follow, and share this episode with someone who may need encouragement today.

Remember: You do not have to be perfect to keep moving forward. Some days strength simply looks like still showing up.
