Welcome to Sick I Swear, a podcast designed to lift the curtain on life with invisible illnesses and disabilities. Through candid conversations, humor, and honest insights, we explore what it’s like navigating a world that often can’t see our challenges. From daily struggles to surprising victories, we tackle topics ranging from managing symptoms and healthcare hurdles to relationships, mental health, and the art of keeping it together (or not). Whether you're living with a chronic illness, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the invisible battles millions face, you’re in the right place. Tune in for laughs, learning, and a community that gets it.
