Mac Lawson, a former gymnast now standing tall in the world of comedy, who unravels her battle with this invisible ailment that dominated her daily life. Mac's breathtaking transparency about her journey will leave you spellbound as she recounts experiencing unexplained episodes of crying and a relentless state of déjà vu. Imagine feeling fine on the outside but constantly battling a whirlwind of debilitating symptoms within, that's the world Mac found herself in.

As we journey further into this life-altering condition, Mac reveals the coping mechanisms that have helped her navigate post concussion syndrome without letting it eclipse her Type A personality. Struggling with a sense of isolation and misunderstanding, Mac found solace in humor and online venting, a cathartic release that eventually crystalized her dream of becoming a comedian.  Hear about the importance of self-compassion, self-care, and just how pivotal a supportive network can be during the recovery process.
