In this first part of a deeply personal two-part series, we talk about the physical side of health struggles - the diagnoses, injuries, and moments that changed how we move through the world.

We share our own medical stories with honesty and humor, including chronic illness, injuries, and the losses that come with them - especially when your go-to coping skills disappear overnight.

This episode is about what happens to the body: the waiting, the tests, the uncertainty, and the quiet grief that comes when your physical reality shifts.

Part II will focus on the mental and emotional impact - identity, shame, medical dismissal, and how connection helps us survive what our bodies put us through.

If you're navigating health issues, chronic pain, or a season when your body feels unfamiliar, this one's for you.
