No one thinks I’m sick! Have you ever battled an illness while fighting for a diagnosis at the same time? This is the story for so many people battling chronic illness today. In this episode Liza interviews Lexie Walsh, chronic illness warrior turned advocate and founder of Uncharted Malady. Through Lexie’s personal story, Liza and Lexie unpack many important topics affecting chronic illness warriors including medical gaslighting by physicians, the invalidation of medical mysteries, as well as the importance of healing personal trauma. This episode is dedicated to all the warriors out there (Lyme, autoimmune and undiagnosed) who continue to fight for validation, treatment, and healing.
