Broken But Still Breathing
Living with a chronic illness isn't always about "warrior" metaphors and "beating" the odds; sometimes, it’s just about figuring out how to exist when your body feels like a glitchy operating system. This podcast explores the messy middle ground of disability; the grief of the "former self," the absurdity of medical gaslighting, and the dark humor found in the waiting rheum.
