We Talk Covid and Ventilators

from Iconically Ill Hosted by Iconically Ill

We talk Covid and Ventilators with Ashley Estes. Ashley Estes is a COVID-19 survivor who was hospitalized early in the pandemic, an experience that permanently reshaped her understanding of fear, recovery, and resilience. During her illness and the long recovery that followed, she also experienced domestic violence, a reality that compounded the physical and emotional toll of being sick and isolated. Ashley speaks openly about her story to highlight the overlapping vulnerabilities that crises can expose and the strength it takes to survive them. Her journey reflects both the visible and invisible aftermath of COVID, as well as the courage required to heal from trauma that occurs behind closed doors. By sharing her experience, she hopes to help others feel less alone and to encourage empathy, awareness, and compassion. Follow Ashley at @letthem3atcake on Instagram Show transcript bit.ly/3UKUymI

The Banging of the Shrew Joseph Stephen Leonardo It’s Shakespeare at its naughtiest in this hilarious sex-positive retelling of The Taming of the Shrew! In Madame Baptista’s famed house of ill-repute, proud Mistress Kate must dominate over Peter Pluck, else lose herself to his command, while young Luke and fair Bianca fling themselves headlong into hormone-driven romance and forbidden love. High art meets tongue-in-cheek in six outrageous episodes of comedy, sex, and foul language! Written, directed and produced by Joseph Stephen Leonardo. Explicit The Recovery Room with Jackie Baxter Jackie Baxter Welcome to The Recovery Room with Jackie Baxter - a gentle, grounded space for anyone navigating a health challenge. ​ For five years, this show was known as The Long Covid Podcast, supporting thousands of listeners through the uncertainty of post‑viral illness. After my own lived experience and recovery from Long Covid, the conversations naturally grew wider — into ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, Dysautonomia, Trauma, Burnout and the deep nervous‑system work that underpins so many healing journeys. ​ This reimagined podcast honours that evolution. ​ Each week, I explore the science, stories, and small, steady practices that help the body feel safer and more supported. You’ll hear from clinicians, researchers, practitioners and people walking their own recovery paths through the power of honest conversation. ​ Whether you’re at the beginning of your journey or somewhere in the long, winding middle, you’re welcome here. Take a breath. S Explicit
