Sick Kids Don't Date

That That Don't Kill Me is a series of non-inspirational, honest and casual conversations about chronic illness, disability, and mental health between two uncourageous young adults who were born #sick. Co-hosts Kendall Ciesemier and Jameson Rich mine their trauma to cover everything from dating when you can't drink or hooking up when you have scars, to disclosing illness to co-workers, what it's like to grow up in a hospital, and the day-to-day minutiae of navigating the healthcare system. They talk with writers, politicians, comedians, actors, activists, and athletes about their experiences dealing with illness and disability.
