After years of debating, I finally feel ready to share some of my experience with you all. In 2020, I was officially diagnosed with a form of Dysautonomia called “POTS”. It is something that has greatly altered my life, as I know it is something that has greatly altered the lives of many others across the world.  I am always hesitant to share my experience because it is incredibly personal to me. I am also aware of the stigmas surrounding invisible illness and chronic conditions and how they are perceived by society as a whole. By sharing some of my experience and listening to the experiences of others, hopefully we can break that stigma on step at a time. I know a few people within this industry that also have this illness and are absolutely crushing it! They have inspired me to speak up and pursue a career in this field despite the illness. I am incredibly grateful for the support from my family, friends and team members through everything the past few years. I would not be where I am today without you all. Hopefully through the month of October, we can raise awareness about Dysautonomia together. So, let’s begin. —
