Send us a textSo, what does it mean to be a normal person? One definition I found says “A normal person has no serious physical or mental health problems”. So, I guess this means I am not normal!But here on the Invisible Condition podcast, we talk about unusually normal things. That’s right! Over 80% of our population lives with a physical or mental condition and a large proportion of us have something that is invisible. Soon after I shared about my health journey, many people, friends, and strangers reached out to thank me for stepping out so vulnerably. People started messaging me about their invisible condition journeys and a common theme started to emerge.Fear! Fear of sharing because of the stigma attached. They feared judgment, they feared losing their jobs, they feared rejection, they feared “making others feel uncomfortable"! People are suffering in silence. They are isolated.Our purpose is to invite people to tell their stories. Let’s start sharing our unusually normal experiences around invisible conditions so that we can break down barriers. Let’s stop hiding.My hope is that Invisible Condition will be a platform where people can feel seen, supported, and empowered. I also hope for change—to create a more EMPATHETIC, authentically curious, and inclusive society.Because EVERYONE DESERVES TO FEEL THEIR NORMALSupport the showThanks for listening, I appreciate you!
