Episode 38 - Makeup With A Flare Up

This week on Take a Pain Check, we welcome Ravia Khangura who joins our host Natasha to talk about her journey living with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. Ravia starts off by explaining how she initially spent weeks in the hospital to get her diagnosis. Growing up, Ravia studied and became a pharmacy technician. However, once we dive deeper into her life, she reveals that she switched her careers to pursue her passion for makeup. Ravia is now a MAC makeup artist, and she shares her workplace accommodations and answers the big question “how and when did you tell your boss you have arthritis?” The episode ends off, with a segment on her elimination process for food, lifestyle changes, the developed love for guided meditation and mindfulness.
