Getting sick changes everything. Your career, relationships, finances, identity - even how you see yourself. Yet somehow, the rest of the world keeps having conversations like none of that exists.
We're smart enough to challenge the conversation.
Funny enough to make the group chat.
Pick your prescription.
A weekly newsletter for hot takes, culture and sick humour. Consider this your standing prescription.
Mainstream conversations with a much-needed sick edit. Big opinions, actual research, dark humour.
Low-pressure hangouts with good people. A ‘maybe’ is a perfectly valid RSVP.
Wearable inside jokes for people whose bodies have other plans.
Psst… Secrets.
The things we wish we could say out loud. About dating, work, doctors, friends and the weird business of living in a body with other plans.
Anonymous submissions are coming soon. We’re getting moderation and privacy right first.
“My toxic trait is thinking I’ll feel better tomorrow.”
— SOMEONE WHO GETS ITA little dose of something good.
Hot takes, culture, sick humour and things that probably needed saying. No miracle cures. Just the good stuff.
Take once weekly. Best read in a waiting room or horizontally.
Laughing at your phone. Forwarding to the group chat. Feeling slightly less alone.
Pretty Sick Still Trying.
The internet has a lot to say about how women should look, work, love and live their best lives. Cute. But what happens when your body has other plans?
Big opinions. Actual research. Dark humour. Same internet. Different reality.
EPISODES COMING SOONBecause our bodies have secrets. And frankly, they're terrible at keeping them.
One minute we're hot. The next we're horizontal.
Meanwhile, the world keeps telling us to hustle harder, glow up and live our best lives.
Babe. We're doing our best.
Love a trend. Hate a waistband that feels like a personal attack.
A 65-step skincare routine? Babe, brushing my teeth was the main event.
Rise and grind! Give it 110%! Sorry, my body approved a budget of 12%, and finance isn't taking calls.
We're not asking for a separate conversation. We're asking why the existing one keeps pretending we don't exist.
It's a name with a few meanings. Take whichever one fits.
We're not here to make chronic illness our entire personality.
We're here because the rest of the world keeps pretending it isn't part of ours.
Still building. Still trying.I didn't need another support group. I needed my people.
I was at the peak of my career when my kidneys failed. Suddenly, I was navigating ambition, relationships and a body with other plans.
Then I found women who just got it. No explaining, no pity. Just dark jokes and real talk. That's why I built PSST.
Good things come to those who subscribe.
