We share personal experiences of being targeted by scams, discuss why evidence-based treatment matters, and explore how hope can sometimes be exploited. Through honest conversation and a bit of humour, we reflect on the importance of critical thinking, realistic expectations, and protecting both wellbeing and wallet. Kitty Fitton is on a mission to prove that disability and illness doesn’t mean the end of life as we know it. She writes about hating exercise, coping with blended families, Parkinsons, and trying to reach the bottom of the laundry basket.
