In this episode, Ren joins us from Chicago to share her journey with chronic pain that began in early childhood. From daily stomach issues and struggles with eating to feeling misunderstood by friends, Ren opens up about what it’s like to live with an invisible illness. Her pain was dismissed until a ruptured ovarian cyst landed her in the ER and even then, answers didn’t come easily. Ren also experienced fainting episodes that added to the fear and confusion of not knowing what was happening in her body. Her story is raw, relatable, and a powerful reminder that being young doesn’t mean being healthy.
