Stories of Strength

Season One is coming to a close! Listen to Danny and Sydney reflect on Scriptly Rx's very first podcast. Brittany, Kelly, Megan, Lauren, and Amber took us on their personal journeys. From suicide, to depression, to the battlefront of various chronic illnesses, these women gave us hope and inspiration to keep us motivated for a lifetime! We want to thank all the incredible women who shared their stories of strength with us. If you liked what you hear, or would like to share you story, please reach out to us at sydney@scriptlyrx.com

Join our conversation with Amber Davies who, after having an emergency diagnosis (Chrons and Ulcerative Colitis), has not only adapted, but is going on to impact the world for better! She shares her battles and victories that she's faced on her chronic illness journey. From emergency surgeries, stigmas of having a stoma, fatigue, chronic pain, denial and the social struggles that come with living with an invisible illness, Amber's story is the perfect picture of perseverance. So please, if you're looking for help or struggling to get to the next day, give Amber's story a listen and remember that THIS IS NOT THE END! Thank you and enjoy the podcast! If you would like to share your thoughts, or your feedback, please email us at sydney@scriptlyrx.com

Join our conversation with Megan Figueroa who was able to discover the beauty within her journey. As an RA Warrior and an Endo Fighter, Megan has found just how powerful a 'first step' can be. Hear the inspiring story of how Megan was able to take her 'first step' away from the isolation brought by her battle with chronic illness, towards the fulfillment of building her legacy. A runner, swimmer, writer, health advocate, artist and mother - Megan truly does all. Fittingly, as a Mrs. North Carolina 2018 pageant winner, Megan's story is a great reminder for us to search for the beauty in our journey.

Join our conversation with Lauren McGowan shares the beauty that she has discovered in her journey with Cerebral Palsy. Lauren shares her journey with people, education and professional aspirations, and how those experiences may differ for someone with Cerebral Palsy. A journey that raises awareness to the idea that conditions and disabilities shouldn't be met with pity and lower expectations, but rather with the understanding that there is an individual behind the condition. An individual that many people choose not to see. An individual just as capable as anybody else. An individual just like you. So, if you choose to be inspired, be inspired by individual not by the condition. Thank you for listening, and we hope Lauren's Story is able to help you see the beauty in everyone's journey.

Join our conversation with Kelly Fullerton who, battling diagnoses like EDS, Fibromyalgia, POTS, Osteoarthritis, Degenerative Disk Disease and PCOS, has learned how to become "the victor of her story". She shares he battles with infertility, miscarriage, brittle bones, fatigue and chronic pain; with the hope that people who are experiencing similar issues, people with loved ones experiencing these issues, and even professionals working in these areas - are able to be more open and curious, are able to judge less and be present more. And, ultimately, are able to LET THEIR SOULS SHINE. 

Did you know there were an en estimated 1.3 million attempted suicides in the U.S., in 2017? Or that suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for young people in the U.S.? Suicide affects millions of people, not only the victims, but their family and friends as well. Let's not let the stigma surrounding suicide keep us from having a discussion that might, one day, help us or someone we love. Join our conversation with Brittany Chung who, at the age of 15, became introduced to the word suicide. A word that unfortunately has become increasingly popular to our generation. We truly believe if we are able to show others they are worth fighting for, we may provide hope. Thank you and enjoy the episode!

Hi there, and thank you for stopping by to take a listen. We are Scriptly Rx (formerly known as Good Neighbor Rx), and we are excited to bring you our Stories of Strength podcast series! Through our work with discounted prescription medications, we've noticed that there is a growing divide between medications and the people who use them. Traditional organizations in pharmaceutical industry focus on trying to market their next medication, spending marketing dollars to guide your attention, or even working with (and sometimes paying) doctors to create a more direct channel to you. But we find ourselves asking - what about the people behind the prescription? What is their story? What is your story? And when we took the time to ask that question, we were reminded of just how incredible listeners (like you) are. Please join us, as we share the stories of six incredible women who share, with us, their individual story of strength. From suicide, to depression, to the battlefront of various chronic illnesses, you are going to hear the stories of women who are an inspiration to the world around them. We were moved by their stories, and we hope you are too. Thank you, and enjoy the podcast. If you liked what you hear, or would like to share you story, please reach out to us at sydney@scriptlyrx.com
