  • Outstanding podcast

    I really enjoyed listening in to Allie’s inspiring backstory in the episode with Katie Couric. As a former Arlingtonian (and podcaster 🤓) I thought the interview was skillfully done and am so grateful to Allie for spreading the message so younger people with diagnoses can get answers sooner and feel supported. Thank you 🙏🏽 Susie Pettit
