Queering Reality with Jess Graham

Sickness, vulnerability, strength, and persisting through it all — even with hope.

Jessica Graham is a multifaceted artist and advocate whose work spans acting, writing, and trauma resolution. As a queer, neurodivergent meditation teacher and author, they bring a deeply personal and unflinchingly honest lens to topics often left in the margins. Their latest book, Being (Sick) Enough: Thoughts on Invisible Illness, Childhood Trauma, and Living Well When Surviving Is Hard, is a collection of essays that delves into the complexities of chronic illness, trauma, addiction, recovery, and grief. Through their smart, funny, raw, and mindful insights, Graham offers readers permission to accept care, and accept that it’s okay to want care. ​

In this podcast episode, Jess joins me to explore the intersections of feminism and queer reality, drawing from their lived experiences and their work as a trauma-resolution guide. Their voice is a powerful reminder that healing is not linear, identity is multifaceted, and embracing the messy realities of being human is a radical act.
