About this episode

Anna Marsh and Lexi Boreham discuss the challenges of recovery from Long Covid, including the impact on identity, relationships, and the emotional journey of rebuilding life.

In this episode, Anna is joined by Lexi Boreham, who shares her experience of living with and recovering from Long Covid. This conversation gently explores the reality of rebuilding a life alongside ongoing symptoms — from the early confusion of becoming unwell, to navigating setbacks, identity shifts, and the emotional impact of recovery. Together, they talk about the often-unspoken parts of the journey, including loneliness, the role of community, learning to set boundaries, and what it means to move forward when life looks very different to before. They also explore the complexities of breakups and dating during recovery — how illness can shape identity, relationships, and self-perception, and the process of learning to trust yourself and others again. This is an honest, grounded conversation about the messy middle of recovery — and the gradual, often quiet process of rebuilding a life that feels meaningful, supportive, and your own.
