In this episode, Jessie opens up about her journey from being misdiagnosed with anxiety to finally discovering she had epilepsy—and how an MRI for her seizures revealed something even more shocking: a brain tumor. Jessie shares how persistence, self-advocacy, and support from others helped her navigate this life-changing diagnosis and find the right treatment. Through an honest and inspiring conversation, we explore the intersection of mental health, epilepsy, and the power of community to build resilience. Don’t miss this compelling story about finding strength in the face of medical challenges.
