Episode Seven: Doctors, Paperwork, and Being Heard

Holding Both with June Callahan · Nov 6, 2026 · 7m

June opens at two in the morning replaying an eleven-minute appointment where her mother said she was fine, then shares how to be heard without ever directing treatment — the one-page summary, concerns ranked with dates, one starred question, and a calm paperwork system in five folders. One small act to give paperwork an appointment and take a walk that is only yours, and the Question of the Day. You can hold their hand and hold on to your life.
