Welcome back to I’d Like to Unsubscribe, where we courageously unpack the hard things… and cope with sarcasm, snacks, and zero copays. Today’s episode comes with a trigger warning—because we’re literally talking about triggers. You know the story: life was fine-ish and then BAM—pregnancy, a loss, burnout, an accident, trauma, or a stress avalanche later—your body went from “we’re thriving” to “system malfunction… please reboot.”

This episode is for anyone who has ever asked: “Why did my body turn on me?” or “Was there a moment everything changed?” Because here’s the thing—most autoimmune warriors can point to a major life event (good or bad) that flipped the switch. Science backs this up: stress hormones, trauma, grief, and overwhelm can dysregulate the immune system, activate dormant genes, and send inflammation into a rave with no exit plan. Cute, right? But here’s what we REALLY want you to hear: Your trigger story is not your whole story.
It’s just the prologue. Not the plot.

We’re breaking down the biology of trauma, the emotional aftermath, and the grief your doctor never warned you about. But we’re also talking hope, agency, nervous system healing, and how to stop letting one chapter define your entire book. If you need to pause and cry into your dog’s fur—or your gluten-free muffin—we support that.

Pull up a chair, take a breath, and let’s peel back these layers together. We promise tenderness, truth, and just enough humor to keep you from running away.

Press play. It’s time to unsubscribe from shame—and reclaim your story. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com
