After living with severely debilitating psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis for over 30 years, Nitika Chopra found that no matter how hard she tried, she always felt completely isolated and alone. For a long time, she assumed that it must have been because something was inherently broken or wrong with her. After getting the courage to open up about her health, she realized that every time she met someone who had a chronic illness, they felt the exact same way.While Nitika's career started over 10 years ago as the founder of a popular online magazine, the host of her own talk show on global television, and a brand ambassador for some of the most prestigious beauty brands on the market, in the midst of her success she felt a deep longing for something more. Something she could create that would truly have an impact on the lives of others. That passion sparked the idea to create Chronicon. After 10 years in content creation, Nitika launched Chronicon in the fall of 2019, an inclusive community-building event focused on those living with chronic illness. The New York City event sold out and had 2,000 live stream viewers.

Adria Ross is the owner of Lillie Mae Handmade Aromatherapy Products LLC based in Memphis, Tennessee and Brooklyn, New York. She is a Certified Aromatherapist specializing in the cultivation of plant-based and fragranced products. Lillie Mae's products are all-natural and free of genetically modified organisms, parabens, and sulfates.

Lillie Mae Handmade Aromatherapy Products was created on July 27, 2016. Adria, was inspired to create the company after a two-week vacation in Zanzibar, Africa. During her trip, she spent several days harvesting a rare seaweed with a community of courageous female entrepreneurs. Their insight on women empowerment, networking within the community and cultivating quality products created a lasting impact. After returning to New York, Adria enrolled in the New York Institute of Aromatic Studies, where she intensely studied the power and purpose of essential oils. She soon realized that their healing properties were desperately needed in a society crippled with inequities, injustices, and oppression.

When you think of self love, what's the image that comes to mind? Social media will have you believe that it's sitting in meditation surrounded by crystals or splurging on a massage, but the reality of self love is so much deeper than that.  Today, I'm talking about all things self love with chronic illness advocate, digital creator and the founder of Chronicon, Nitika Chopra. Nitika has battled with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis for most of her life, and she's dedicated to helping other people living with chronic illnesses elevate their lives. As she works to heal the physical, spiritual and mental suffering that her diagnosis entails, she continues to develop a deep discipline of self love. Nitika and I connect on the struggles that we've experienced to express our feelings and include our families in our exploration around healing. Part of her inspiration to start Chronicon was to create a community where people living with chronic illnesses had the space to connect and live without judgment. Through the online platform, members can attend weekly events and interact with daily content that highlights the real and challenging work around self love.  Listen to today's episode to learn more about how Nitika is changing the conversation around chronic illness and self love.  Listen to the episode on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-modern-millennial/id1611085811 (Apple Podcasts), https://open.spotify.com/show/03vZXMKnBQaPKcNHASkSNp?si=a97986efb7ea4fb9 (Spotify), https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vdGhlLW1vZGVybi1taWxsZW5uaWFs (Google Podcasts), https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b39cdc3e-8aef-4d33-b406-06ab7f941799/the-modern-millennial (Amazon Music), or on your favorite podcast platform.

When you first experience the connection between the food you eat and how you feel, that can be an empowering moment. But when certain foods cause you to flare, that can also inspire a fear of food. This is a natural reaction, but it also has consequences. The fear itself can cause autoimmune flares and also increase food sensitivity, creating a vicious cycle. Suddenly, all food feels dangerous, and we over-restrict our diets, which harms our health long-term. There is good news! We can overcome food fear, replacing it with a deep knowledge about our bodies and enjoy eating again. That's our goal with our conversation today. My guests are fellow autoimmune warriors, Nitika Chopra and Alison Marras. We've all experienced food fear and share tips for overcoming it.

Log in for the a deep dive into reaping all the benefits of insider tips of online community! A first introduction into support as a young adult with chronic illness/disability often means using social media or nonprofits as a way to connect with others that are living similar health struggle experiences. But let's be real, as we are teens and young adults, making friendships and bonds virtually can feel as awkward as a blind date, and we've got no handbook on how to master people an individual wanting a support network that gets it…until now. That's what InvisiYouth's platform is all about, and we've got a special guest on this episode that also specializes in authentic support online, the founder of the media/events company and online community ChroniCon, Nitika Chopra!

And our intermission “So That One Time” storytime is all about Nitika's journey dreaming up for goal of a TV show becoming a reality. And she may give the best episode quote about how her and Dominique are chronic illness ninjas, and you can be one too!

We got you in the ways you can DM slide, how to make a comment, and how to feel safe and comfortable on your socials when wanting to interact with new people in chronic illness/disability communities.

According to the CDC, 6 in 10 US adults have a chronic disease. 4 in 10 US adults live with two or more. Hard to diagnose, they often "come & go" leaving others wonder if “their condition” is all in their head, a desperately frustrating feeling for those who suffer. Our guest today, Nitika Chopra, has lived her entire life with chronic illness. She went from feeling isolated and wondering about her purpose, to making it her mission to raise awareness, educate people on, and empower people with chronic illness.

We had an illuminating conversation on this episode of "And She Spoke" with Nitika Chopra, the founder of Chronicon, a media and events company dedicated to elevating those who live with chronic illness.

Julie and Casey sit down with Nitika Chopra (founder of Chronicon) to talk about building a platform and community to celebrate and elevate the lives of chronically ill folks. Along the way, they talk about the medicine of feeling all your feelings (including grief), why “you can fix your problems via your THOUGHTS!” can be abusive, hearing the voice of the divine (whatever that looks like for you), and the revelatory power of Idina Menzel’s voice. TOP TAKEAWAYS Nitika’s journey - from running a beauty and self-love publishing platform to talk show host to community creator for people dealing with chronic illness Nitika saw chronically ill folks as being in the same boat the people of size were years ago: being ignored by the fashion and beauty and fitness industries because they assumed they wouldn’t want or didn’t need products and services built for them. “Oh, you’re sick now. Bye.”  It’s estimated that 133 million people in America have a chronic illness. When it comes to living inside American hustle culture (particularly as a founder), Nitika is “not interested in conforming”.  Just as curvy folks want to be celebrated for who they are RIGHT NOW AS THEY ARE (not for losing weight), the lived experience of chronically ill people deserves to be celebrated in all its fullness.  The mission of Chronicon is not to make a case about the worthiness of chronically ill people or about “fitting in” to a wider culture—it’s about owning and honoring the full experience and the superpowers of chronically ill people. What does it look like not just to survive, but to thrive? What can we learn from the lived experience of chronically ill folks? Perhaps the benefits of what Nitika calls “spiritual surrender”. After spending so much time working and striving to heal her body, she was brought to a point where she finally accepted what WAS and could be truly present. “This is our body, and it is doing the best that it can, and we can love it no matter what. And from THERE, we can live.” Part of the subtle and important difference between that spiritual surrender and feeling like a failure is allowing yourself to grieve. Grief allows us to process the sadness of losing something you wanted without the shame of wanting it in the first place. Spiritual surrender doesn’t mean that you stop striving, learning, fighting, etc. So often, we teach the things we most need to learn (Casey, Julie, and Nitika all have experienced this). For Nitika, teaching self love has helped her to address many, many years of self-hatred. Who gave Nitika permission to fight for herself? God, and her spiritual practice. At 15, at a serious low point, she heard a message that carried her through: “It’s not about you.” So much of “wellness/spirituality/self-help” culture spreads a message of manifesting your way out of your problems—as so many do, Nitika found herself trying to heal herself via belief, and felt like a failure when she didn’t heal. To be clear, this “you can get rid of your problems by repeating mantras and changing your mindset” (and its dark mirror, if you still have problems, it’s because you didn’t believe hard enough) version of “wellness” and “spirituality” perpetuates abuse. We’ve been conditioned by American culture to numb out and avoid feeling our pain, but according to Nitika, “Dealing with our pain, our truth about our pain is one of the greatest medicines in our life. There’s so much wisdom and medicine inside of our pain and suffering. It’s not a place I choose to stay - I don’t want to marinate in it or bring others down by spreading my pain everywhere, but when you give yourself permission to FEEL it, you allow it to be released and to move and take shape and move ON.” Singing feels like home to Nitika. Seeing Idina Menzel in Rent on Broadway was a revelation to her—“Women can SOUND like that?” Her programing was that women should be neat and poised and small and tidy and not “flaunt their spirits”. And NOW, she’s part of the Resistance Revival Choir, and on their debut album! Nitika Chopra is the founder of Chronicon, a media and events company, dedicated to elevating the lives of those living with a chronic illness. Nitika was diagnosed with psoriasis at the age of 10 and psoriatic arthritis at the age of 19 and lived over 17 years of her life being defined by her conditions.

Since the start of her entrepreneurial journey Nitika has hosted her own TV talk show on Z Living called Naturally Beautiful, hosted over 40 events with hundreds of guests in attendance and has created dynamic partnerships with over 150 brands in the wellness space. After 10 years in event creation, Nitika launched Chronicon in the fall of 2019, focused on those living with a chronic illness. The event sold out, had over 2,000 livestream viewers, high-level brand sponsors and has been growing ever since. Now, Nitika is excited to announce that Chronicon is expanding online with The Chronicon Community, a new, accessible online space with inspiration, advocacy, and empowerment for chronically ill folks across the globe to connect. Follow her for daily inspiration @ChroniconOfficial.

It's hard to believe, but we've officially reached the end of our third season. Obviously, so much has happened and changed since this season started and it seems like the perfect time for me to connect with you one-on-one. Some of the things I want to share with you in this special episode are the hobbies and other things I've been leaning on during this pandemic, what I'm feeling about the future of Chronicon and how I've been navigating work in this time of uncertainty, and how I've been taking a hard look at relationships recently.   To learn more, visit the show notes.   Want to continue the love-fest?

Being that it's the end of the year and the end of season two, I decided to do something a little different for this episode. For the first time, I'm doing a completely solo episode. By the time we return for season three in February 2020, The Point of Pain will have officially turned one year old. So, what better way to end season 2, the calendar year, and the first year of the podcast than by sharing some lessons learned throughout this year that I'll be taking with me into 2020 and season three.   To learn more, visit the show notes.   Want to continue the love-fest?

Hello loves. I'm so excited to be on this journey with you. I know this is just the beginning, but I have so much planned for our time together. In case this is your first encounter with me, I'm Nitika Chopra and I've been an entrepreneur for the past nine years. It's been such a beautiful and humbling experience that led to me having my own talk show on the holistic lifestyle channel, Z Living, for two and a half season and being a beauty expert on QVC where I emphasized natural beauty. Currently, I have a blog and do brand partnerships and live events and it's really allowed me to have so much fun with my career in a variety of different ways. The reason I first began my entrepreneurial journey was because I had a story to share regarding a medical condition I was diagnosed with at the age of 10. In this introductory episode of The Point of Pain podcast, I share that story and the reason why I felt called to create this podcast. Whether your pain is physical, emotional, entrepreneurial, or something entirely different, it's my hope that this podcast will help nurture you through gaining a deeper understanding of those experiences. It's time to stop numbing our pain and the journey starts here … with this introduction to The Point of Pain podcast.   To learn more, visit the show notes.   Want to continue the love-fest?
