Ep. 24: Self-Advocacy & Finding a Cure (with Emily Ricks)


Listen Later

In our season one finale, we sit down with musician and actress Emily Ricks to hear her incredible journey of self-advocacy and healing. Emily had been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, colonic paralysis, MCAS, POTS, and more before finally finding an innovative treatment that changed her life.

In this episode, she shares how she navigated biases in the healthcare system, trusted her intuition, and advocated for her own well-being -- all at only 18 years old. Emily’s story is a testament to the power of persistence, resilience, and consistently taking the next right step.
