Welcome to the PICKLE JAR, Gretchen Crowder from Dallas, Texas who was been newly diagnosed with Addison's Disease in December of 2022. She is a busy mother of 3, a teacher, a blogger and more.  Gretchen shares with us her moving blog post about her diagnosis of Addison's Disease.  You will FEEL her words, EXPERIENCE her struggle and be INSPIRED by her strength and positive attitude.   

Life's journey prior to diagnosis has taught her the importance of educating and advocating for yourself.  She has harnessed this SUPER POWER to move forward with her new reality of life with a chronic illness. Her story is MOVING, INSPIRiNG, REAL, RELATABLE, and VALIDATING. 

After Gretchen reads us her amazing blog post we wrap up the podcast with Gretchen giving us an update on her life in the last few months as she adjusts to life with Addison's Disease.  She is an amazing example and reminder of the importance of 'being prepared' and educating not only ourselves but those who are part of our worlds.   I know you will be inspired by Gretchen's story...in her words "I have a lot going on, and this isn't going to stop me!"
