In this episode of I’ve Got Guts, Stef and Lauren dive into a powerful and deeply personal topic: what it’s like to live with an invisible illness or dynamic disability. From conditions that fluctuate day to day to chronic illnesses you can’t always see, they unpack what these terms really mean and how they affect every aspect of life, from relationships and work to self-worth and daily functioning.
Stef and Lauren share their own experiences and offer tips for navigating life with these challenges, whether you're the one living it or someone who loves and supports someone who is. This is a must-listen for anyone trying to better understand the often misunderstood reality behind the phrase, “But you don’t look sick.”
