True joy recognizes and acknowledges pain, tears, sadness, and every other emotion that exists within the spectrum of human experience. It is about discovering and finding balance, equilibrium, and a sense of steadiness even in the midst of difficult, trying, and turbulent times.

Women make up 70% of diagnosed cases for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and it can take 4 to 16 years to get a diagnosis in Canada. To be diagnosed with Craniocervical Instability, Sydney had to crowdfund & travel to the states for care. Look for deeper investigation of this in 2026 on (MIS)Treated podcast.
"I believe that it's no coincidence that a condition that predominantly affects women has been so under-recognized and neglected both systemically and medically." On (MIS)Treated, @namshine.bsky.social talks to Sydney Gesualdi about EDS & Craniocervical Instability.
