95. Chronic Illness Dating Chronicles

April 24, 2022

Gigi Robinson provides visibility to a typically invisible condition – Ehlers-Danlos syndrome – and recounts the 10+ year journey post-diagnosis that ultimately led her to build a platform dedicated to awareness around chronic illness. She drags the men who’ve had (FAR) less than ideal responses to her condition in the past, from bouncing mid-makeout, to an attempted religious conversion. She also shares the secrets around confidence and body image that ultimately led her to a Sports Illustrated swim shoot.
