Breaking Into Visibility: Building Community Through Chronic Illness // Nikita Chopra #12242

After living with severely debilitating psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis for over 30 years, Nitika Chopra spent much of her life feeling isolated by her health struggles. For years, she believed this loneliness was a personal flaw—until she began opening up and discovered a shared sense of invisibility among others with chronic illness.

In this powerful episode of Breaking the Biz, we dive into Nitika’s extraordinary journey—from being a vibrant media personality and beauty brand ambassador to launching Chronicon, a groundbreaking community for those living with chronic conditions. With the success of Chronicon’s sold-out NYC debut and its expansion into a thriving online platform, Nitika has reshaped what empowerment and inclusion look like in the chronic illness space.

We explore how her experiences with pain led her to purpose, how she built a brand that prioritizes authenticity, and how she's creating space for connection where there was once silence. Her story reminds us that thriving with a disability or chronic illness is not only possible—it’s powerful.
