Chronic Illness, Masking, and the Cost of Proving You’re “Enough” with Holly Blanc Moses
What if the traits you’ve been praised for—resilience, determination, pushing through—are the very things that have been harming you?
In this deeply honest conversation, neurodivergent therapist Holly Blanc Moses shares her journey through severe chronic illness, lifelong masking, and the relentless pressure to prove she was “good enough.” From nearly dying in graduate school to navigating medical trauma and ableism, Holly opens up about what it really costs to override your body in a world that doesn’t understand you.
We explore the intersection of neurodivergence, parenting, chronic illness, and nervous system survival—and what it takes to rebuild self-trust, become a safe person for your child, and stop abandoning yourself in the process.
If you’ve ever felt like you had to earn your worth by pushing harder… you aren’t alone.
