And the podcast is BACK! Today's episode is with the inspiring and wonderful Dr. Diana Driscoll. I had an amazing conversation with her and was on the edge of my seat the entire interview listening to her story.

Diana was an EDS/POTS patient and bed bound for 10+ years. And she wasn't only on her own journey - both her son and daughter were dealing with similar symptoms. It took YEARS to find answers, and she is now the clinical director at POTS Care- a clinic that addresses the underlying medical causes of invisible illness patients.

Diana's main message is to never, ever give up hope. Even after 10 years of searching for answers, she continued to grasp on to hope and find a way to heal.

In today's episode we chat about ...

• Dr. Diana Driscoll's background and experience with POTS
• Her continued effort to try to figure out what was happening to her body (and her children's bodies) throughout this 10+ year experience
• How her background in optometry helped her find her healing
• How to never give up hope, even when it feels like there is none left

And we're back with another podcast! Today's episode is with Nicole Krinick, one of the owners of the app, Wana. Have you heard of Wana?

Wana (which stands for We Are Not Alone) is a community that fosters hope, direction and healing for people with chronic and invisible conditions. Nicole takes us through her story with invisible illness and why she and co-owner, Evan Golub, decided to start Wana.

Spoiler alert: Nicole and Evan actually met on a dating app and while they didn't click romantically, because of their meeting, Wana was created to help so many others in the chronic illness community. How cool is that?!

This is a quick episode, but such a helpful one! I created this podcast for a safe, positive space for people living with chronic illness and Wana is just the app for people like you!

In today's episode we chat about ...

• From Hinge to Healing: How Nicole & Evan met
• Nicole's story with invisible illness that came out of nowhere
• How Nicole and Evan's friendship and support through chronic illness pushed them to start Wana
• How to join Wana and the best way to dive into the community
