I’m a disabled writer, speaker and content creator based in York, 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 using social media to share my experiences and connect with others. Living with a long-term illness has taught me to find the humour in even the most trying of situations, leading to plenty of what my friends affectionately named ‘Life Of Pippa’ moments. In 2017 I decided to launch my own blog of the same name, indulging in writing about the things that bring my joy and sharing helpful tips and advice for anybody navigating similar challenges in their own lives.

I’ve always loved to write, and I’m grateful beyond words that over recent years it’s evolved from being my hobby to being at the core of my career. As well as my blog, on this website you can find more information about my work as a writer, speaker, and content creator, and how to get in touch with me if you’d like to join forces on future projects.

I’m so glad you’re here. Have a nosey around and make yourself at home!
