Mighty Well Fall Photoshoot

Mighty Well Fall Photoshoot

Last week, the Mighty Well team hosted a fall photoshoot in New York City! Like our team, every model had been impacted by chronic illness or disability in some way. This was as a wonderful way to bring together members of the community while also fighting for illness and disability representation in the media!

We are so excited by the photos captured by our talented photographer, Amanda Crommett, and look forward to sharing them with the community in the coming weeks. We were able to showcase all of our favorite products – the Mighty Wrap, MedPlanner, PICC Perfect, Mighty Pack and more! This was an amazing event made possible by passionate people with inspiring stories.

We are thankful to all involved in helping to contribute to this event and making it everything we could have imagined! Our Mighty Models shared their thoughts and takeaways with us after the photoshoot. Check them out below.

Facing Our Fears

“When I was introduced to Emily and the greater Mighty Well community I no longer saw my scar as proof of a disability but as a source of strength,” said Mighty Model, Khaled. “I became emboldened by surviving my illness instead of letting it control me. Being at the photoshoot this past weekend allowed me a chance to face my fear and celebrate my challenges. I really enjoyed it and have started connecting with other members of the community for (and to) support.”

Building Community

The Mighty Well Photoshoot also helped our Mighty Models to find community. “Mighty Well is incredible as both a brand and a community,” said Mighty Model Jasmine. “Being in a room full of awesome products and beautiful souls was such an inspiring experience.”

Mighty Model and Brand Ambassador, Janira Obregon, agreed. “I loved meeting and connecting with everyone. It was really empowering seeing how we came together as Friends in the Fight, and supporting the mission of inclusion and accessibility.”

Finding Purpose

When struggling with illness and disability, it can be challenging to find a bigger purpose in life. This weekend, some of our models found that purpose! “It was the first time in a long time that I felt like there was something I could do,” said Mighty Model Chalice. “Everyone there made me feel like I was part of something. The MightyPack has made a huge impact on my life and to be part of it was really cool.”

Thank you to all of our Mighty Models and to the whole Mighty Well Team for making this experience so empowering. We can’t wait to share the photos with the rest of the community!

Our Story

Mighty Well - Founder - Emily Levy - Our Story

 

It all started with a cut off sock, a cute hockey player, and an 8 AM finance class. Oh, and a PICC Line. That moment inspired us to launch our first product, the PICCPerfect PICC Line Cover.

 

We know it stinks to feel defined by a diagnosis or feel like just a name on a doctor’s chart. Sounds like you? Read how our founder turned sickness into strength.

One positive that came out of the pandemic was tha One positive that came out of the pandemic was that many of us were able to have flexible working arrangements. As more states lift restrictions, heading back to work after months of working from home can be a huge adjustment for so many of us. Allowing time in our schedules for commuting, brushing up on our social skills, and making sure to have access to our medical supplies are just a few things we need to prepare for.

📸 Mighty Well ambassador @ameliablackwater headed back to the classroom last week and is working on finding a happy balance of working, socializing, and finding time for herself. 

If you've returned to work, what was the hardest part about making the transition back?

You can hardly wait to tell everyone what happened You can hardly wait to tell everyone what happened and  suddenly start talking and realize you don't know where the story is going...has this happened to anyone else lately 🙋‍♂️We've been there! Brain fog, perhaps the most universal aspect of illness, is exhausting. Cognitive disorders can be frustrating but take solace in knowing that you are not alone. We've all experienced that foggy feeling 🌫 and although it's not permanent, it can arrive quickly and definitely overstay its welcome. 

Looking for a little help getting the fog to lift? Our Brain Fog Fix Planner is more than just a reminder system. It includes space to track daily symptoms, hydration, thoughts and moments of gratitude amidst the daily challenges and is brought to you with input from our Friends in the Fight® Click the link in our bio to find out more.

We've got your back! Our Mighty Pack is the first We've got your back! Our Mighty Pack is the first medical backpack designed by patients, for patients. Our backpack is perfect for wheelchair users, as it has multiple strap locations to allow for flexibility. Nobody needs to know that you are carrying or wearing your essential medical devices and supplies. As patients ourselves, this is a product that we wish we’d had! 💪💚 Best of all this can be purchased with most FSAs (Flexible Spending Accounts) and HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) Click on the photo to take a look inside the Mighty Pack.
