The Discomfort Zone

Ep #35 Michelle Weger on Living With Narcolepsy, a Giant Service Dog and Not Snoozing Your Dreams


Listen Later

Have you ever been skeptical when you see someone with a service dog? 

I admit, I have to, and that changed when I met and got to hang out with Michelle Weger and her Great Dane service dog, Quinn.

Michelle is an accomplished entrepreneur, speaker and author who lives with narcolepsy, and is passionate about inspiring you to not let obstacles get in the way of your dreams.

During our conversation Michelle shares why it's important to have the courage to voice what you want and need, to be a model for,  and give courage to others to do the same. 

She talks about her experiences as a person with narcolepsy and the challenges she faces, including dealing with ignorant and aggressive reactions from people in public, and what that's like for her. 

You'll appreciate the inspiration to follow your passions, trust yourself, set big goals, and a very tough one for me - allow others to contribute to you.
