E79- Behind the Balance: Turning Pain into Purpose Together 🖤

• Kristie Lengel 🖤

What happens when chronic illness changes everything — your health, your marriage, your finances, and your future dreams?

In this deeply personal episode, Kristie (Lengel)  and Frank Calise share their honest and emotional story of navigating invisible illness, medical gaslighting, and years of searching for answers. They reveal the challenges, heartbreak, and helplessness that came with living through chronic illness as a couple — and the unexpected strength, resilience, and hope that grew from it.

You’ll hear:

  • The frustration of being dismissed by the medical system
  • The emotional and financial toll of chronic illness on a relationship
  • How they stayed connected through the hardest seasons
  • Why their shared experience inspired the creation of the Balance App — a platform built for those living with chronic illness, fatigue, and inflammation

✨ This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or stuck in survival mode. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest seasons, healing and purpose are possible.
