What happens when chronic illness changes everything — your health, your marriage, your finances, and your future dreams?

In this deeply personal episode, Kristie (Lengel)  and Frank Calise share their honest and emotional story of navigating invisible illness, medical gaslighting, and years of searching for answers. They reveal the challenges, heartbreak, and helplessness that came with living through chronic illness as a couple — and the unexpected strength, resilience, and hope that grew from it.
