Ever felt like your life was spinning out of control? Well, you ain't got sh*t on Kat. She's the queen of spin. In this episode, the boys sit down with the indomitable Kat Harrison, a chronic illness warrior whose story zigzags through a maze of health challenges and dizzying experiences. Kat is an award-winning children's author, editor for The Mighty, and a staunch advocate for those living with chronic illnesses like bilateral vestibular loss, chronic migraine, SUNCT syndrome, and her latest opponent, lupus. Kat's tale begins at 15 when an IV antibiotic left her vestibular system in shambles, forcing her to relearn the basics of life in a world that just wouldn't stop bouncing.Her work with The Mighty and her public vulnerability not only shed light on the realities of chronic illness but also build a community for those navigating similar paths. Despite over two decades of health battles, Kat's story is not just about enduring pain; it's about the resilience of the human spirit and finding strength in the most challenging times.
