Speaker 1: Quick question, how long have you been dealing with your
Speaker 1: skin condition without anyone who actually gets it?
Speaker 2: You know, I was telling people about it and they
Speaker 2: didn't know what it was, so, you know, not that
Speaker 2: many people knew about it, and I felt kind of alone,
Speaker 2: like am I an outcast?
Speaker 1: A month a year since middle school.
Speaker 3: It still took a toll, even in that moment of
Speaker 3: seeing like, Okay, someone else does have it, but I
Speaker 3: still feel so secluded and alienated.
Speaker 1: I'm Holly Frye, and I have great news for anyone
Speaker 1: that resonates with our skin. A Personal Discovery podcast is
Speaker 1: back for season three. We're talking sosiasis, We're talking hydrogenitis superativa.
Speaker 1: We're talking to people who have been through it, come
Speaker 1: out the other side and decided to bring others with them.
Speaker 4: And something that I really love about my psoriasis as
Speaker 4: especially with my daughters, is they're growing up and they're saying, like,
Speaker 4: mom looks different, but she still loves herself, and I
Speaker 4: shall love myself too. And it also teaches my kids
Speaker 4: to have empathy for people that may look different than them.
Speaker 1: And then, because I am still your host and I
Speaker 1: am who I am, we zoom all the way out
Speaker 1: into history, into the genuinely astonishing, occasionally revolting, sometimes actually
Speaker 1: beautiful story of how humans have tried to understand and
Speaker 1: treat what happens on our skin across centuries, across cultures,
Speaker 1: with wildly varying degrees of success.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, my brain is over stimulated in the
Speaker 3: best way.
Speaker 1: It's real stories, real history, and honestly real laughs. Come
Speaker 1: find your people. Listen to Season three of Our Skin
