As an epileptic this is awesome to find and hear! on a horror of a day no seizure but I can feel one brewing! Thx for lifting my spirits 💜
Thank you for this incredible show. Your honesty and willingness to engage in difficult yet meaningful conversations is truly special. I deeply appreciate your vulnerability and the ongoing dialogue you foster. As someone with epilepsy, I feel seen and heard—what you’re doing is truly important.
Using the F words and other words that are cussing is not what epilepsy is about I would like to give you a Greater rating if y’all stop using bad language
I just finished the first episode and really appreciated the conversation. I don’t have epilepsy, but do have a fellow “invisible disease”. I could definitely draw some parallels. Worth a share to anyone in your life who has gone through a long diagnosis period, invisible illness, etc. Thanks gals!
Just listened to the first episode and I loved it! So motivational to seize life and make the best of it!!
