Nitika Chopra is the founder of Chronicon, a media and events company, dedicated to elevating the lives of those living with a chronic illness. Nitika was diagnosed with psoriasis at the age of 10 and psoriatic arthritis at the age of 19 and lived over 17 years of her life being defined by her conditions. In 2010 she decided to take all of the lessons her health journey had taught her and use it to help others with the creation of her online magazine Bella Life.
Since the start of her entrepreneurial journey Nitika has hosted her own TV talk show on Z Living called Naturally Beautiful, hosted over 40 events with hundreds of guests in attendance and has created dynamic partnerships with over 150 brands in the wellness space.
After 10 years in event creation, Nitika launched Chronicon in the fall of 2019, focused on those living with a chronic illness. The event sold out, had over 2,000 livestream viewers, high-level brand sponsors and has been growing ever since. Now, Nitika is excited to announce that Chronicon is expanding online with The Chronicon Community, a new, accessible online space with inspiration, advocacy, and empowerment for chronically ill folks across the globe to connect. Nitika is also the host of The Point of Pain podcast which is available wherever you enjoy your podcasts.
In this episode we talk about:
- being diagnosed with her first Chronic disease of psoriasis at age 10 and how that affected her and not feeling comfortable in her own skin
- having a passion for singing but that not being supported by her parents
- getting married young at the same time she was diagnosed with another chronic disease
- looking back now and not feeling like she had the right to dream
- how toxic positivity and methods like The Secret made her feel like she was responsible for her chronic illnesses and how that kept her from truly getting help and healing
- why toxic positivity or the fear of having a negative thought doesn’t serve us
- the real self love journey without shaming yourself for doing it “right”
- getting a message that she was going to be a talk show host and deciding to build an online magazine to create a platform and that site actually getting her her own talk show
