A Non-Consensual Relationship with the Body
Embed Podcast
Courtney and Monica Laipple from the Invisible Not Broken chronic illness podcast come together to discuss living with a body that goes against your will.
Something Positive for Positive People Podcast Episode 139
Monica Laipple is the host of the podcast, "Invisible Not Broken," a chronic illness and disability podcast. Monica and I connected on a joint interview with Lauren Selfridge's podcast, "This is Not What I Ordered" and connected right away. I asked Monica how she was always able to keep pushing despite her body's constant rejection of her will and ideas because I believe there is much to be learned from her experience with rejection. Her body is rejecting her rather than how a person living with herpes may reject their body. The perspective here is amazing and I hope you are able to take away something that connects with you.
