At just 23 years old, Danielle’s life was flipped upside down. What started as numbness in her hands and feet quickly progressed to full-body paralysis. She was dismissed by doctors, told it was all in her head, and sent home—until a spinal tap revealed the truth.

Danielle was diagnosed with CIDP, a rare and chronic neurological disorder that left her unable to walk. In this powerful episode, she opens up about medical trauma, the emotional toll of living with an invisible illness, and what it took to finally get the right diagnosis and care.

Now, over a decade later, Danielle is a wife, a mother, and a fierce advocate for herself and others living with chronic conditions. This is a story of resilience, identity, and redefining what it means to live fully—even when your body says otherwise.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, unheard, or afraid of the future, this episode is for you.
