Episode 125 - ​​Tiffany Kairos: Navigating Life with Epilepsy


Listen Later

Tiffany Kairos' life was filled with plans and excitement, but everything changed when she experienced her first seizure while driving. Her unexpected diagnosis with epilepsy led to a whirlwind of emotions and adjustments, forcing her to reevaluate her life and how she navigated her new reality.

 

Tiffany has now been living with epilepsy for 16 years, and in our conversation we discussed the challenges and triumphs that come with managing a chronic condition. However, Tiffany's story is not just about her diagnosis; it's about resilience, community, and the importance of education.

 

It took Tiffany about two years to come to terms with her epilepsy. During this time, she found a sense of belonging and comfort by connecting with people online. With the help of her husband, she created the Epilepsy Network, an online community that has grown to nearly 30,000 members. This platform serves as a space for education, support, and breaking down the stigma surrounding epilepsy. 

 

Tiffany also runs a blog called Rise Above Epilepsy, where she shares her personal experiences and offers tips for others navigating similar challenges.

 

Her passion for educating others about epilepsy is evident, and I can't wait to see where her journey takes her next.
