In this episode of Feed the Matriarchy, Heather and Johanna sit down with Tamie Gangloff (MA, MFT / she, her)—therapist, author, and advocate—to talk about what it really means to live with a chronic condition in a world that doesn’t always listen. Tamie shares her personal journey of navigating chronic illness, advocating for herself within the healthcare system, and unlearning the internalized belief that she had to prove her pain to be taken seriously. Together, they explore the intersection of chronic illness, trauma, and mental health, and the powerful role of validation, community, and self-trust in healing. This is a conversation about resilience, being believed, and why no one should have to fight this hard to be cared for.
