Fiona Cauley joins Steph fresh off getting engaged, and the two get into it fast. Steph and Fiona talk about her rare genetic condition (she's 1 of 3 siblings out of only 5,000 people in the US who have it), being told for three years as a teenager that she was faking her symptoms, a doctor who was visibly thrilled to finally diagnose her, $40k a month medication, dating with a disability and the men who either ran from it or weaponized it, handicap bathroom etiquette, and a story about a prolapsed uterus on the open sea that will ruin your week.
