Nitika knew from a young age that something was wrong with her health. After being diagnosed with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis by age 19, Nitika struggled physically and emotionally with the challenges of having chronic illnesses. Her decision to embrace her role as a chronic illness advocate led to her pivot into founding Chronicon, a community and annual conference for the 133+ million Americans living with chronic illness. On this episode of She Pivots, Nitika shares her journey with chronic illness and the power of the chronic illness community, her decision not to have kids, and her singing career with the Resistance Revival Chorus.
