Flare Ups & F-Bombs
Flare Ups & F-Bombs This is where chronic illness gets real and very raw; unfiltered and occasionally inappropriately hilarious. I’m Flick: neurospicy, chronically ill, perpetually exhausted, and finally done being dismissed. After years of being told “it’s just anxiety,” I’m telling the truth about what it’s actually like to live in a body that is confused on how to function. Each week, I’m sharing the chaos behind the flare-ups, the emotional gut punches of not being heard, the small wins, and the weird symptoms nobody talks about. This space is for the misunderstood, the misdiagnosed, and the medically gaslit… Oh and everyone in between. Expect laughter, tears, a few F-bombs, and eventually stories from other beautifully broken people just like me. New episodes weekly. Subscribe, share, and say hi, because you don’t have to look sick to be chronically ill, and you don’t have to do this alone.

This one’s for the spoonies who wake up looking like a raccoon on a bender but still manage to serve “invisible-era glam” by 3pm. Join me for a short (but fabulous) love letter to all of us who are chronically ill, constantly exhausted, and still somehow kinda hot.

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on the condition that hijacked my life, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (aka POTS). From the misdiagnosis of “just anxiety” to the daily battles no one sees, I’m sharing the raw, ridiculous, and real side of living with an invisible illness. Spoiler: it’s not all salt and compression socks and fainting.
In this first episode of Flare Ups & F-Bombs, I open up about life with invisible illness, what finally pushed me to speak out, and how a slow week in New Zealand helped me find my voice again. A short, sweet little introduction on a very big subject.
