A New Normal - Sarah's Story of Living with Long Covid

Author: The More Library March 23, 2026 Duration: 13:49

Before we begin, we ask you to listen with empathy. In this episode, we hear from a former teacher, mother and athlete whose life changed overnight after contracting COVID-19 in 2021. What followed was not recovery, but a long and often invisible struggle with fatigue, pain and loss of identity. Through moments of isolation, frustration and gradual acceptance, she shares what it means to rebuild a life at a different pace. This is a story of resilience and ultimately, finding a new normal.


There's a particular kind of magic in the stories that live just next door, the ones shared in a campus coffee shop or over a kitchen table. Hear My Voice is built on that magic, a space where student voices take the lead to bring those community narratives into the light. This isn't about polished experts or distant figures; it's about real people sharing their lived experiences, their struggles, their triumphs, and their unique perspectives on the world. Each episode feels like a genuine conversation, an intimate window into the diverse tapestry of society and culture that often goes unnoticed. You'll hear from neighbors, local artists, activists, and everyday individuals whose journals and personal histories collectively shape our understanding of community. The result is a podcast that feels both grounding and expansive, offering listeners a chance to connect with stories that truly educate and inspire through their authenticity. Tune in to discover the profound in the personal, and to remember that every voice, when given the chance, has something vital to say.
