When You Don't Know How to Advocate for Yourself

from Empowerment In Illness · host Gwen Pike

In this episode, I share my personal journey of being neglected by the healthcare system and the life-threatening consequences of not knowing how to advocate for myself. I open up about the emotional toll of medical gaslighting and how it impacts so many in the chronic illness community. This is a raw, urgent conversation about reclaiming our voices, demanding better care, and standing together for change.
