Pippa Stacey

Pippa Stacey is an award-winning writer, speaker, and communication consultant. Within the last few years she has become a published author, supported disability charities and organisations with their online storytelling, and continued curating her popular blog and social media platforms at Life Of Pippa.

Pippa is a trusted voice in the chronic illness community, with an online audience of over 16,000 people. She’s often told that her words and shared experiences bring comfort and validation to readers, and that her work helps them to feel better represented within the broader disability community too. Her latest non-fiction book, How To Do Life With A Chronic Illness, has been enjoyed worldwide and reached several of Amazon’s bestseller charts upon release, and the self-narrated audiobook was named as one of Audible’s ‘most buzzworthy listens’ of the season.

She is also an experienced speaker who delivers bespoke talks and training to businesses, charities, and patient groups. She engages with presenting and advocacy opportunities in the mainstream media, and loves partnering with brands on meaningful campaigns as a disabled content creator. Her recent collaborations include road-testing accessible travel itineraries with Visit England, promoting inclusive initiatives to explore the outdoors with BBC iPlayer, interviewing disabled authors for Penguin Random House, and plenty more.

Pippa also works as a communication consultant in the charity sector, with a particular interest in making employment more inclusive for people with chronic illnesses. She is one of the UK’s only experts in employment and Energy Limiting Conditions, and authored Astriid’s Employment And Long-Term Illness (2021) and Making Employment Work (2023) reports, the first of their kind in the sector. She also creates targeted resources for both employers and prospective employees seeking help in this area.

Pippa has a dynamic disability and is an ambulatory wheelchair user. Through all her work, she advocates for people with Energy Limiting Conditions to become better represented in the social model of disability. By combining her professional work with charities and organisations with her impactful storytelling skills, she aims to ensure that the chronic illness community is supported and empowered to live the life they choose.
