More Spoons Story

The story behind More Spoons

For seven years, I lived with chronic Lyme disease. It was exhausting, isolating, and at times, it felt like my identity was slipping away. More Spoons was born from that experience — not as a cure or quick fix, but as a small, intentional tool to help others navigate the emotional weight of chronic illness. This deck is something I wish I had during my hardest moments. Each prompt is designed to create space for reflection, conversation, and connection — with yourself or with someone who supports you. It’s not about fixing what’s broken. It’s about meeting yourself where you are, with gentleness.

Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Leah — designer, writer, and someone who’s lived with chronic illness for years. More Spoons came from a deeply personal place. I wanted to create something that could help others feel understood and supported, especially during the moments when words are hard to find.
This deck isn’t about fixing anything. It’s about offering space — to reflect, to feel, and to connect.
