Name: Episode 3.12: Flat Out Like A Lizard Drinking by Marisa Explains It All
Duration: 1 h 23 min 40 s
Description: We've been OUTSIDEEE and we have the stories to prove it! From mgk's birthday party to Beyoncé's tour to a throwback festival with a [failed] mission, we're recapping it all. We also have some dating updates (or lack thereof), a beautiful friendship moment and of course our Yay, You Guys! and Aur Naurs!

In this episode, we get real about something way too many of us have experienced: medical gaslighting. Bridgette shares a super frustrating story about going to the doctor to check in on her ADHD meds, only to be met with a woman who straight-up refused to acknowledge her *documented* ADHD diagnosis.

That convo spiraled (in the best way) into a deeper discussion about how women – especially neurodivergent babes and folks with invisible illnesses – are constantly dismissed or not taken seriously by healthcare professionals. We talk about what medical gaslighting looks like, why it’s so common and how freaking exhausting it is to have to advocate for yourself just to be heard.

If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office feeling like you imagined your own symptoms or had to fight to be believed, this one's for you. You're not alone!
