Dilemma: I’m not sick enough to stop

This week’s dilemma:

“I’m not sick enough to stop”

In this episode, we hear from Marianne, a university comms manager quietly battling fatigue, pain, and brain fog, all while showing up to work every day like nothing’s wrong. With no clear diagnosis and a very real fear of being sidelined, she’s stuck in a grey zone between functioning and flailing.

We talk about invisible illnesses, the pressure to power through and the ways that silence can feel safer than vulnerability, even when it’s slowly costing you. If you’ve ever worried that asking for help might make things worse, this one’s for you.

It’s a reminder that you don’t need to break down completely to deserve help.
