The Rest Room

This is my absolute comfort podcast - it is so useful when having chronic illness, and it is so present and kind. Thank you so Much for creating this.

Helpful with lots of information even for a person who’s been chronically unwell a long time. Need to go back over the episodes I’ve listened to and take notes! Thank you for creating this pod.

Thanks, I feel so seen.

I’ve only listened to a few eps so far, but they’ve been such an amazing resource for me as someone new(ish) to living with chronic illness. Highly recommend!

Very impressed with this podcast. You can tell that Natasha brings her considerable professional experience to its making. As someone living with chronic conditions I really appreciate the thoughtful and insightful content. Highly recommend.

I’m 50 and am still learning how to manage my conditions so for me there is a wealth of useful advice and information in these podcasts.

Very insightful, enjoyable and making us with chronic illness feeling less alone and more in charge. Thank you, Natasha.

Natasha Lipman has found a way to present a variety of helpful information and tools, in a comprehensive, hopeful, and clear manner. Listening to this podcast always leaves me feeling understood and empowered! I recommend it to anyone with chronic illness or pain, and I share it with every physician I know as well.

This podcast is fantastic. I stumbled across it on the Ehlers Danlos Society’s Facebook story and the beautiful graphic showing a chronically ill person pacing throughout their day caught my eye. I have now listened to about 5 episodes and can’t wait for more! Natasha’s skill as a journalist clearly shows in her sense of what will be interesting to listeners, and she has a knack for discussing things from angles that are important but infrequently attended to. She is an intelligent host and a sk... more

I discovered this podcast last week and have found it SO incredibly valuable. I have been learning to live with long covid for about 1 year so far and have been struggling with implementing some of the skills (like pacing and avoiding the boom/bust cycle) despite working for almost a year on develop those skills.

This podcast broke these topics down into really actionable and manageable directions for me to incorporate while I work on living a real life + scaling back up to full time at work. ... more

Natasha shares the topics chronically I'll people are really interested in because they deal with things we deal with day in a day out.

I love this podcast! As a yoga therapist who works with people with chronic illness, I’m recommending the movement & exercise episodes to many clients and students. Thank you, Natasha! Sarah Nelsen

Anyone who is embarking on a journey of life with disability, chronic illness, or recovery will likely benefit from this podcast. Lipman lays out solid, well-thought out ideas in digestible episodes. Lipman also ensures this content is accessible in a variety of ways, and provides a lot of gentle suggestions for listeners to get the most out of it. To boot, Lipman’s narration is lovely. This podcast made me feel less alone in my experience, and for that I’m eternally grateful.

Natasha’s podcasts have such a hugely positive impact on my life I don’t know where to begin!

I have chronic illness following a serious infection and this has been compounded by menopause symptoms.

The podcasts have taught me so much and have given me the encouragement to get moving, even though I’ve been in chronic pain and so exhausted. It’s very counterintuitive to try and move when all you want to do is rest.

I discovered I am now dealing with more pain, fatigue etc from menopause. “E... more

In my 6 years of living with a chronic illness, I’ve never listened to anything that addressed literally every thought, concern, or feeling that has ever crossed my mind in my journey. I feel like Natasha is speaking directly to me. No one has ever been able to articulate these difficult concepts in quite this way before and I’m really looking forward to future episodes.
