This week, we welcome Rachael Woodard, host of the podcast "Abiding Hysteria." We dive into Rachael's personal journey with chronic illness and the biases faced in healthcare. Rachael shares her motivation for creating a platform for women and gender-diverse individuals to share their stories of navigating the healthcare system. We also discuss the challenges of advocating for oneself, the impact of invisible disabilities, and the importance of community support. Tune in for an insightful conversation on dismantling biases and empowering patients to be heard and believed.
