Sick, I Swear
Welcome to Sick I Swear, a podcast designed to lift the curtain on life with invisible illnesses and disabilities. Through candid conversations, humor, and honest insights, we explore what it’s like navigating a world that often can’t see our challenges. From daily struggles to surprising victories, we tackle topics ranging from managing symptoms and healthcare hurdles to relationships, mental health, and the art of keeping it together (or not). Whether you're living with a chronic illness, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the invisible battles millions face, you’re in the right place. Tune in for laughs, learning, and a community that gets it.

Self Advocacy: My Villain Origin Story
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we dive into the art of self-advocacy—why it’s crucial, how to do it, and why staying silent is never the answer when it comes to your health. Chronic illness can leave you feeling powerless at times, but being your own advocate is one of the most empowering tools in your toolbox. From navigating doctor’s visits to setting personal boundaries, we discuss the ways you can assert yourself, get the care you deserve, and stand up for your needs—no matter how uncomfortable the situation might be.
