Episode Synopsis

Donna Irene joins me for Young Women Living With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) in America to share her story of living with a misunderstood, invisible disability. From years of medical gaslighting and dismissal by doctors to embracing mobility aids and confronting internalized ableism, Donna’s journey is raw, real, and full of insight. We talk about chronic illness, hypermobility, neurological symptoms, and how creativity keeps her connected to joy while navigating the political and social realities of being disabled in the United States.FOLLOW DONNA: @wanderwithdonnaFOLLOW SIS: @sickiswearpodcast
