   Do We Even Know How to Miscarry?

   A conversation on loss, self-advocacy, and the care women deserve before, during, and after miscarriage In conversation with Jessica Chalk, founder of myStoria. When Jess said to me, “I didn’t know we needed to learn how to miscarry,” the conversation opened into one of the biggest gaps in women’s health. Miscarriage is common, yet the experience of it is often met with silence, confusion, and very little care. One in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage — and still, women are often expected to understand the protocols, know the procedures, make the decisions, and emotionally carry the experience largely on their own. In this episode, we talk about what happens when a pregnancy ends, and what kind of support is often missing in that moment. We explore the medical gap, the emotional weight of loss, the need for self-advocacy, and the founder story behind myStoria — what Jess was trying to build, and why. This is a conversation about miscarriage, reproductive health, navigating care, and the support women deserve before, during, and after loss. A gift from Jess and myStoria Jess has generously offered Get Obsessed listeners a complimentary 3-month upgrade to myStoria.

   Storytelling as Treatment

   AI, Cancer Care, and the Gap Between the Clinical Encounter and the Rest of Your Life In conversation with Ellyn Winters Robinson, founder of Ask Ellyn. Medicine treats the disease. Storytelling treats the person. That sentence, from this conversation with Ellyn Winters Robinson, names something most healthcare systems are not built to hold. The clinical encounter is real, necessary, and often life-saving. It is also limited. What happens between appointments is the rest of a person’s life. Ellyn describes the experience of being newly diagnosed as “being enrolled in a university you did not apply to, where the curriculum is your own life.” In this episode, we talk about the language gap, the impossible coordination, and the loneliness of becoming an expert in something you never wanted to study. We talk about what Ask Ellyn does and does not do. We talk about the ethics of building AI for patients in some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. We talk about the space between fifteen-minute appointments and the rest of the year — and why being heard in real time may be one of the most meaningful forms of care available inside that space. About Ellyn Ellyn Winters Robinson is the founder of Ask Ellyn, an AI cancer companion created for patients moving through diagnosis, treatment, and the long aftermath of cancer. Her work sits at the intersection of patient experience, language, and AI — using technology not to replace clinical care, but to support the space the clinical encounter cannot always hold. Ellyn built Ask Ellyn from her own diagnosis: from the language she had to create in real time, from the questions that could not be answered in fifteen-minute appointments, and from the loneliness of becoming an unwilling expert in her own disease. Ask Ellyn is the tool she wishes she had — and the one she is now building for the women and men who come after her.
