S2 Ep 5: The Disabled Debrief Podcast: What I Want You To Know About Chronic Illness With Natasha Lipman The Disabled Debrief With Conscious Being Magazine

    • Careers

When it comes to disability, one of the questions you should be asking friends, family - besides 'what are your access needs?' - is 'what would you like me to know?' Chronic illness is so often misunderstood, and is often beset by stereotypes and stigma; for our first series, a round table discussion about chronic illness was actually one of our most popular episodes.  

For this episode we talked to Natasha Lipman, host of The Rest Room Podcast. A former BBC journalist, Natasha can now be found writing about chronic illness and disability on Substack. In this episode we talk about her freelance career, how The Rest Room started as a podcast (and including the pun in the name!), access needs, and everything she wants you to know about chronic illness.  

CONTENT WARNING: This episode touches upon subjects such as death and opioid withdrawal. Please exercise caution when listening.
