🎙️ Episode 18: The Disability Gap

Systems We Survive – Part 1

Just because treatment ends doesn’t mean the healing is over.
 In this deeply personal episode, Gia opens up about surviving ovarian cancer—and the invisible weight survivors carry long after remission. From post-chemo fatigue to the unspoken challenges of “light duty,” we explore how logistics workers with chronic or invisible disabilities are navigating workplaces built for maximum output, not human recovery.

🔍 Topics Covered:

• The myth of bouncing back
• What “light duty” actually looks like in logistics
• Invisible illnesses and the shame of needing grace
• Practical changes we need—from policy to empathy

This episode marks the start of our new series: Systems We Survive—where we examine what happens when the systems built for profit forget the people who power them.

🎧 Whether you're a survivor, a caregiver, or just someone trying to show up when your body says no—this one’s for you.
