In this honest episode, Niraj speaks with Charlotte about living with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), a condition that affects daily life in unpredictable and exhausting ways. Charlotte shares her long journey to diagnosis, the confusion with other conditions like autism and chronic fatigue, and how hard it can be to explain an invisible illness. She opens up about balancing self-awareness with vulnerability, managing energy crashes, and finding strength in gratitude and support. From calling herself lazy to realising she’s incredibly determined, Charlotte speaks openly about internalised stigma, misunderstood friendships, and the challenge of feeling seen. This episode is a raw and real look at life with POTS, and how connection and self-compassion can make all the difference.
