On this week's episode of Trauma, Tea, and Tangents, we sit down with Sami Leyde — a professional dancer, performer, and passionate advocate for POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome). Sami shares her deeply personal journey of living with chronic illness, and how for years, her symptoms were dismissed, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood by the medical system.
We explore the powerful intersection between trauma and the body — how unresolved emotional wounds and long-term stress can manifest physically, sometimes leading to or worsening chronic illness. This episode is a raw, validating conversation for anyone who's ever felt unseen in their health struggles or questioned the mind-body connection.
Episode’s out now! Grab your tea and hit play.
