Do You Hear Yourself?
The conversations about health, self-advocacy, and community that don't always make it into the doctor's office. Real talk for real people — from Project Healthvocate.
About the show
Do You Hear Yourself? is the official podcast of Project Healthvocate. Each episode brings together community members, health advocates, clinicians, and organizers to talk honestly about what it takes to navigate the healthcare system — especially when the system wasn't built with you in mind.
We cover everything from understanding your diagnosis to knowing your rights as a patient, managing chronic conditions, and building community around health. No jargon. No gatekeeping. Just real conversations that help you advocate for yourself and the people you love.
