More Spoons: A conversational card deck for chronic illness & support

Transform your chronic illness journey from isolation to connection. More Spoons is a thoughtfully crafted 70-card deck designed specifically for chronic illness patients (spoonies) and their support networks. Born from the creator’s seven-year battle with chronic Lyme disease, this deck bridges the gap between lived experience and meaningful conversation.

What's Inside:

  • 70 beautifully designed cards featuring discussion prompts, journaling topics, and guided meditations
  • Compassionate conversation starters that validate the spoonie experience
  • Tools for processing grief, identity shifts, and finding hope within chronic illness
  • Prompts designed for use with therapists, caregivers, friends, and family
  • A gentle reminder that gifts remain in this world, no matter how small

Perfect for:

  • Chronic illness patients seeking deeper self-compassion
  • Therapists working with chronically ill clients
  • Family members and friends wanting to better support their loved ones
  • Support groups
  • Anyone navigating the complex emotional landscape of autoimmune disease

Why More Spoons Works:

Unlike generic wellness tools, More Spoons was created by someone who truly understands the spoonie experience. Each card acknowledges the reality of limited energy while fostering hope, connection, and healing.
