In this episode of finding grace I’m joined by Nitika Chopra is the Founder and CEO of Chronicon and The Chronicon Foundation, a pioneering platform and nonprofit uplifting those living with chronic illness through community, advocacy, and education. A seasoned host, speaker, and entrepreneur, she’s collaborated with brands like Google, Microsoft, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, hosted a globally distributed talk show, and now leads Truth Talks via substack. Her mission: to create healing spaces where people are empowered to live fully and thrive, on their terms.

In this episode you’ll discover.

• Nitika shares what finding grace means to her and journey she’s been on.
• We discussed the continued lack of diversity in the wellness industry, and the importance of using your platforms to create more inclusive, authentic spaces.
• Nitika shared her powerful story, from being diagnosed with psoriasis at age ten to founding Chronicon, highlighting how resilience, vulnerability, and purpose have shaped her path.
• We explored the harms of toxic positivity and self-gaslighting, calling for a more compassionate and nuanced approach to healing, especially within chronic illness communities.
• She touched on the need to bridge the gap between extremes, embracing both struggle and strength, to remove shame and empower others to define their own version of thriving.
• Nitika spoke about shifting from an illness-based identity toward one rooted in wholeness, seeing healing as an evolving, lifelong practice rather than a fixed destination.
• Nitika emphasised the healing power of rest and nurturing routines, inviting listeners to reconnect with their inner wisdom and self-love as daily acts of grace.
