"You are not broken, you are not lazy, you are not crazy—and your body is doing her best." —Donna Piper What if your body isn’t failing you—it’s trying to save you? Patients with chronic pain or invisible illnesses often face gaslighting from doctors, loved ones, and even themselves. They’re told to push through, fix their diets, or "just rest," while their bodies scream in languages no one understands. Step into the very first episode of “Dear Body, I’m Listening”, where healing isn’t a straight line, and perfection is left at the door. In this raw and unfiltered debut, your host, Donna Piper, opens up about her own journey through decades of mysterious symptoms, misdiagnoses, and the emotional rollercoaster of living with invisible illness. If you’ve ever googled your symptoms in the dark, felt dismissed by doctors, or wondered if anyone else gets it, this podcast is for you. Join Donna as she builds a sisterhood of seekers, shares the tools that actually help, and provides a safe space for anyone who’s felt broken by a system that ignores their pain. Press play to discover why rest isn’t laziness, how to decode your body’s signals, and why healing begins when you stop fighting yourself.
