Have you ever been told to "just think positively", "stop stressing", or "have you tried yoga?"

In this episode of Sit Down With Us, Faith and Zara discuss the comments, advice, and so-called "helpful" suggestions they've received while living with alopecia and disability.

From miracle cures and herbal remedies to toxic positivity and assumptions about wanting to be "fixed", we explore why these comments can be frustrating, hurtful, and sometimes completely miss the point.

We also discuss:

•  Why unsolicited advice isn't always helpful 
•  The reality of chronic fatigue 
•  Comments people make about appearance 
•  Assumptions about disability and difference 
•  Why not everyone wants a cure 
•  Better ways to support someone going through a difficult time 

If you've ever been on the receiving end of comments that left you speechless, this episode is for you.
