Meet Tonya and Carrie: Beyond the Diagnoses

Tonya and Carrie are anything but your typical podcast hosts. They're two women in their 30s, each with a laundry list of diagnoses that read like a medical textbook. Tonya, a master's-prepared nurse, grapples with ADHD, POTS, spinal stenosis, PCOS, a slew of mental health conditions, and the lingering suspicion that something else is being missed. Despite her medical background, she's currently unemployed in a bustling city, fighting tooth and nail to reclaim control of her health.

Carrie's story is no less complex. Living in a rural setting so remote she can't even receive mail, she contends with FND, CPTSD, Tourette's, dissociative disorder, and a high RAADS-R score that leaves her battling fainting spells and seizures. Denied disability benefits, she's a mother finding strength in the chaos for herself, her son, and her animal companions.

More Than Just Illness: Navigating Life's Challenges

Their podcast isn't about wallowing in their medical complexities. It's a raw and relatable exploration of what it truly means to live with invisible disabilities and neurodivergence. Expect honest discussions about the gut-wrenching uncertainty of not feeling well, the frustration of never-ending doctor's appointments, and the mental toll of trying to \"keep up\" in a world that doesn't cater to their needs.

But it's also about finding solutions. Tonya and Carrie refuse to give up on generating income. They're relentlessly testing money-making apps, sharing their hard-earned insights with a community of people who understand the need for flexible, accessible income sources.

A Haven of Understanding and Support

This podcast is more than just advice; it's a lifeline. It's a chance to hear, \"Me too!\" in a world that often makes them feel isolated. For those struggling with chronic illness or neurodivergence, Tonya and Carrie's conversations offer the comforting realization that they're not alone.
