  • When Friends Fade: Navigating Social Loss

    When Friends Fade: Navigating Social Loss
    Nov 4 2025

    In this episode, I talk about the often-overlooked reality of social loss for those living with invisible disabilities. Friendships can change or fade when chronic illness or disability enters the picture, and it can feel isolating and heartbreaking. We’ll discuss why this happens, how to process grief around lost connections, and ways to build meaningful relationships that understand and respect your boundaries. If you’ve struggled with friends pulling away or not understanding your needs, this episode offers perspective, reassurance, and practical guidance.

  • Being the "Difficult" Patient: Advocacy vs Aggression

    Being the "Difficult" Patient: Advocacy vs Aggression
    Oct 28 2025

    In this episode, I dive into what it really means to be labeled a “difficult” patient and why advocating for yourself in the medical system is not the same as being aggressive. We’ll explore the fine line between standing up for your health needs and being misunderstood, how invisible disabilities often make advocacy necessary, and why it’s okay to insist on being heard and taken seriously. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, dismissed, or afraid to speak up in a doctor’s office, this episode is for you.
