We all judge books by their covers - even when we know we shouldn't... but how is that translated when perceiving people and their illnesses both seen and unseen?
Today Amanda starts an important conversation with Alicia about her battles with getting a diagnosis, proper health care and accepting her life with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. They talk advocating for your body, medical gaslighting, toxic positivity and more.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
