My name is Pippa Stacey, and I’m based in Yorkshire. I’m a disabled writer, speaker and content creator, and I also work as a communication consultant in the charity sector. In my free time I enjoy travel, theatre, reading, and fundraising, and can usually be found wearing the cosiest of pyjamas and drinking *all* the tea.

Halfway through my undergraduate degree, after four years of mystery symptoms, I was diagnosed with a debilitating chronic illness. This completely changed my busy, active way of life and it took a huge amount of time and effort for me to find my feet and begin to feel like ‘myself’ again.

When things started to feel a little less like the end of the world, I began to engage with media opportunities, speaking up about life as a student with a long-term condition. I’ve always been a writer, but it was around this time that writing became a lifeline for me: something that I really loved to do, and something that my condition thankfully hasn’t completely taken away from me. Living with a long-term illness has taught me to find humour in even the most trying of situations, leading to plenty of what my friends affectionately named ‘Life Of Pippa’ moments. Therefore, I decided to launch my own blog of the same name, centred around the things that are most important to me. Have a nosey around, and make yourself at home!
