Everyone's got issues. What's wrong with you?
We talk about all ailments. Big or small, chronic or temporary, The Sick Invite provides an inclusive space for you to share your story.
There are only two rules.
First: No comparing illnesses, pain or disabilities. There is no prize for worst experience.
Second: Don't hold back your tears, laughter, or graphic details. We want to hear it all. Be genuine.

Preview- Medical Professionals' Experience: A Three Part Series
Over the next three weeks we will be posting three interviews with medical professionals that are being used for my Disability and Diversity Course. Thank you to Professor Andrew Marcum and CUNY School of Professional Studies for allowing me to share this data in an accessible platform so others have the opportunity to learn from these issues.
Since the beginning of The Sick Invite Podcast, we have discussed my own adverse experience with medical professionals including my pain not being taken seriously, being underdiagnosed, being accused of drug seeking, among other issues. We quickly learned I was not alone in this experience, and after a year of hearing the same themes come up, I thought it would be helpful to research the problem further and hear from the professionals’ experience, too.
Topics that we’ll be discussing include understaffing, lack of funding, lack of resources, lack of support, lack of mental health awareness, burnout, patient neglect, vague education in diseases, lack of continued education, “teaching an old dog new tricks”, and toxic workplace environments.
Customer Reviews
Something everyone can learn from!
My favorite thing about this podcast is that I can share it with people I know who have chronic illness or a similar ailment to the person being interviewed, and it makes them feel seen. It can literally save someone’s life! The fact that they emphasize the diagnosis journey is so important for educating and relating to just about everyone.
I absolutely recommend listening and sharing with the people in your life who have chronic illnesses or are caretakers.
Love this!
I love this podcast and what Kayla and Ricky have done here! A highlight of my week is tuning into their show
I feel seen
As someone with a disability, coming across this podcast is truly magical. They cover a wide range of topics from mental health to physical ailments and it makes me feel seen. Like there’s a community out there waiting to embrace me. It’s something I’ve never felt before & I am so glad this podcast exists.
