Three months after their wedding, Jim and Alicia Barnard's world came crashing down as her health deteriorated minute-by-minute. After months of frustration and misdiagnoses, a doctor diagnosed Alicia with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that ravaged her colon and digestive system. Jim sits down with Rebecca and Liz to talk about the "expectation gap," and how to navigate life when reality looks nothing like your dreams.
