After Shock: Rana Awdish on Re-Inhabiting Your Body After Illness

In this episode of the Visible Voices Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Rana Awdish — pulmonary and critical care physician at Henry Ford Health and bestselling author of In Shock and her new book After Shock: Learning to Re-inhabit My Body After Illness. Rana takes us from a keynote stage in Houston where she realized she had been telling a cleaned-up version of her own story, through a decade of chronic illness, stroke, autoimmune disease, and pain — and into the embodiment practices, art, yin yoga, and hard-won self-awareness that brought her back to herself. We talk about what medicine gets wrong about sick bodies, how self-sacrifice gets weaponized against clinicians, and why doubt might just be the way forward.
