September 29, 2020 Brain Fog.
This episode really needs no description, but it does have 3 trigger warnings:
1. I cuss twice.
2. Discussion of mental/emotional struggles.

September 01, 2020 The Medical Community.
"You're just one of those women." "We can't find anything wrong." "Have you considered seeing a shrink?"
"IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD."
People... I cleaned up this episode a TON before its publication because I still need medical care and can't keep getting fired as a patient. But this week, you're going to hear why we are so sick (no pun intended) of being blown off...and how that ignorance can lead to even more dangerous circumstances.

August 16, 2020 Monday tease.
Tomorrow I'll share part two of my health journey. We pick up in September 2015, when I had a total abdominal hysterectomy. From there, it's all been downhill, especially the last several months. But someone turned me on to yet another theory, and if you know me at all, you know I love rabbit hole...and Big Pharma is down one of them.

August 12, 2020 Voice message feature!
Leave a message at the tone! Kidding. This feature is designed to collect messages from listeners to played in future episodes either via playback, or read by me. Side note, that little motor you hear is Lucy, an accidental but entertaining new addition to the family.

August 12, 2020 Health journey, part 1.
I recorded this episode in one take, and as I mention several times (I tend to repeat myself, SORRY!), I think it's crucial to do this podcast like I do life. Raw. Unscripted. Imperfect. This episode features a trigger warning for medical terms and assault so please take that to mind before listening.
