In the first episode of season 3, our host Naomi is joined by two guests: Jana, who was diagnosed as a teenager with guttate psoriasis and has worked her way through years of treatments to finally find a biologic that’s made a life-changing difference; and Krystal, who was diagnosed in childhood with plaque and guttate psoriasis and shares openly about the stigma she faced, the exhaustion of trial-and-error treatments, and her hopes for finally finding something that works.

Together, they reflect on the emotional toll of psoriasis, the financial and systemic barriers that can stand in the way of care, and the importance of trusting relationships with healthcare providers. This episode offers an honest look at what it means to keep advocating for yourself, and a reminder that even after years of trial and error, better options and renewed hope may still be within reach.
