They didn’t believe my lab results.
They said I didn’t deserve numbers that good.
They told me my face was too loud in meetings.
That I made other people uncomfortable and needed to work on that.
In this episode, I talk about what happens when every system—medical, corporate, political—demands performance over truth.
When you're a fat, neurodivergent, midlife woman asking for care, what you usually get is bias, not help. And when you're too competent or too honest at work? That makes you dangerous.
This isn’t a healing arc.
It’s a personal uprising.
🧠 What You’ll Hear In This Episode:
The shocking thing a doctor told me about my PCOS diagnosis—and what it says about fatphobia in medicine
Why performance reviews sound exactly like patient intake forms
The real reason DEI panels are easier to launch than plus-size swag
How burnout isn’t failure—it’s unacknowledged grief and unrewarded labor
Why systems label you “difficult” when you stop making yourself small
How to start un-gaslighting yourself so you can stop performing and start rebelling
“If solving your pain requires the system to admit failure, they’ll label you the failure instead.”
Visibility isn’t vanity. It’s survival.
If your voice threatens the people in power, you’re probably saying something that matters.
Subscribe, share this with a fellow troublemaker, and let’s stop calling it burnout when it’s really just bullshit.
