In this episode, Niraj speaks with Clark about her lived experience with fibromyalgia—a chronic pain condition that’s often misunderstood. Clark shares what her journey to diagnosis looked like, how fibromyalgia affects her day-to-day life, and why it's so hard to explain an invisible and fluctuating disability to others. She talks openly about the physical pain, emotional impact, and stigma she faces, as well as the coping strategies that help her manage—like using mobility aids and building a supportive community. Clark also highlights how friendships have shifted over time and what true support looks like. This episode is a real and honest insight into what it’s like living with a condition that most people can’t see but affects everything.

In this episode, Niraj chats with Anjelika Gearing about masking and how it can lead to losing your sense of identity. Anjelika talks openly about growing up without realising she was masking to fit in, and how this led to confusion, exhaustion, and pretending to be someone she wasn’t. After being diagnosed with autism and ADHD, she started unmasking – not by choice, but because she simply didn’t have the energy to keep pretending. She shares how she’s slowly figuring out who she really is, using tools like self-care, mindset shifts, and understanding thought patterns. This honest conversation gives a real insight into the emotional impact of masking, and what it’s like to slowly reconnect with your true self.
