  • Trauma and Medical Gaslighting

    What happens when the people who are supposed to help you don't believe you? Whether it is the medical field, family or even friends?  In this episode, we are talking about the trauma of medical gaslighting: being dismissed, ignored, or told "it's all in your head."  I will share my experience and will explore how this kind of betrayal from outside sources impacts our bodies, minds, and trust in the system that is supposed to help us.  Whether you have experience it yourself or a loved one has, this conversation is for you: anyone who has had to fight to be heard.  You aren't imagining it! You aren't alone! Your story matters.

  • Constantly Having to "Prove" Yourself

    You're in pain and exhausted.  You're doing everything you can just to survive each and everyday.  Yet, it's still not enough.  You still have to prove it - to the doctors who dismiss you; to the coworkers who just don't get it; to the family and friends who mean well but just don't see it. In this episode, we are getting real about the anger, frustration, grief, and exhaustion that comes with living in a body that's constantly questioned. Chronic invisible illness is already hard enough without the extra burden of proving that it's real. This episode, this podcast, is for every person who has ever been told "you don't look sick."  For everyone who has begged to be believed, you shouldn't have to prove anything.  Let's show how we are strong and Stormproof.
