Today, I'm talking with Mari. They are a writer, podcaster, and model living in Toronto. We talk about their spooky podcast, Sick Sad World, and how it got started.

TW: Medications, death, grieving, and I cry for like ten minutes. Yay? I’ve talked a lot about arthritis. For nearly the last decade, it’s the bulk of the work I’ve done. On my other site, notstandingstillsdisease.com, I’ve worked on not only talking about my own health but how we can improve healthcare systems. Today, though, let’s stick to arthritis facts since May is Arthritis Awareness Month. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go listen to Wine & Crime to cheer my sobbing ass up.
