This is an episode that I recorded in March 2023 this year, that I never posted for some reason. It’s not the best sound quality because I was walking home from work so it’s kind of loud in the background, but I still think it’s important to publish it in case anyone who is suffering with autoimmune disorders, can resonate with any of it, and somehow feel supported. So forgive the audio quality and again I hope this does help anyone who may need it.
