When my own health journey compelled me to seek answers to the strange dental issues that haunted my twenties, I never expected the lessons it would teach me about resilience and self-advocacy. Now I'm bringing story of autoimmune diseases, specifically Fibromyalgia and Sjogren's Syndrome, to this podcast in hopes of connecting with others who navigate similar paths.
Join me as I lay out the unspoken challenges and discuss the real costs—emotional, physical, and financial—of living with these diagnoses. I am creating a space where honesty shines, stigmas are dismantled, and the voices of experience resonate with hope and understanding. No matter your journey, the story of how you got to where you are today matters.
