74: Medical Gaslighting, Self-Trust & the Chronic Illness Hotline | Cyndii Sinex

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, doubted, or told “everything looks normal” while living with chronic illness — this episode is for you. In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Cyndii Sinex, MPH — public health practitioner and founder of the Chronic Illness Hotline — to talk about: ✔️ Navigating over a decade of misdiagnoses ✔️ Medical gaslighting and rebuilding self-trust ✔️ Why “worry” can actually be self-advocacy ✔️ Supporting people with chronic illness, pain, injury, or neurodivergence ✔️ Creating a confidential, compassionate 24/7 support space The Chronic Illness Hotline is launching to ensure that no one has to process health fears alone — diagnosis or not.
