How do you embrace the freedom of travel when eczema can make every trip harder before you have even left home? Solo traveller and writer Sarah Simon joins host Dylan Marron to share how she fell in love with exploring the world on her own even as her skin made each trip more complicated. From flare-ups triggered by packing and dry airplane air to sleepless nights spent managing the itch far from home, Sarah reflects on the physical and emotional work that happens behind the adventure and the difficult trip that challenged her habit of pushing through discomfort. She shares how travelling with eczema taught her to prepare for what she can, let go of what she can’t, and why taking a break doesn’t have to make the adventure smaller.

How do you live fully when a skin condition can shape what you wear, where you go, and whether you feel able to leave the house? Eczema patient advocate Ashley Ann joins host Dylan Marron to share what it was like growing up with atopic dermatitis that could change an ordinary day without warning – and the panic she felt when the topical treatment she had relied on for years suddenly stopped providing the relief she expected. She opens up about experiencing topical steroid withdrawal and rebuilding her trust in medical care. Ashley also reflects on the importance of asking more questions in the doctor’s office, recognizing when something isn't working, and how to meet flare-ups with something she never had as a child: the confidence that she will be okay.

What happens when a skin condition threatens to take away the activity that makes you feel most like yourself? Lifelong competitive swimmer and International Topical Steroid Awareness Network (ITSAN) founder Kelly Palace joins host Dylan Marron to share how eczema and topical steroid withdrawal changed her relationship with the water. She opens up about swimming through the pain of cracked infection-prone skin, and the periods when she had to step away from the sport altogether. Kelly also reflects on finding her way back to the pool, setting boundaries around what her body could handle, and becoming a stronger, faster swimmer in her 60s.
