About the Purple Spoonie

💜 Our Mission

At The Purple Spoonie, our mission is to create a space of understanding, support, and empowerment for those living with chronic illness, chronic pain, and invisible disabilities.

Born from my personal journey with chronic pain—and inspired by my loved ones who face the daily battles of autoimmune diseases like Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, and Graves’ Disease—this brand is rooted in lived experience. I know what it feels like to be exhausted but misunderstood. To look “fine” but feel anything but.

Here, we turn that pain into purpose. Through relatable content, uplifting and adaptive products, and an inclusive community, The Purple Spoonie exists to remind you that:

You are not alone. You are not lazy. You are stronger than you know.

This isn’t just a shop or a blog—it’s a movement for connection, advocacy, and self-love.
