Janelle wanted to get pregnant and have a family of her own. However, she struggled conceiving naturally and sought help from fertility treatments. In that time, she had friends and relatives who were getting pregnant and having babies left and right. It seemed like everyone she knew was starting their own family. She was so distraught; she couldn’t go to baby showers anymore or be around pregnant people in general. She and her husband had to come to a decision, either keep trying with an expensive and an emotionally draining procedure on her body, or go through the adoption route, where she was guaranteed to be a mom.

1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, this is Vicki Bush’s story. Vicki knew that she had to get her sizable lump on her breast checked out, but postponing the inevitable results and having no insurance, it took her a few months before she told her daughter about her lump. The next day, she had an appointment at a free clinic. She kept a journal of her process through the different treatments she went through to get rid of the cancer. Through it all, she has kept a positive - and at times humorous - attitude, even when certain procedures were painful and difficult to handle. She is now cancer free and lives a much healthier lifestyle than the one she had before cancer.

At the age of two, Jenny’s mother noticed that Jenny went from crawling to walking to crawling again. Her ankle was swollen and hot to the touch. Jenny was then diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA), a condition which causes inflammation in the joints and it eventually caused her vision impairment. Growing up, Jenny was not treated differently by her mother or siblings. She was encouraged to reach for her dreams which led her to become the first person in her family to graduate from college. Despite her diagnosis and her declining vision, Jenny has continued to be positive and tries everyday to live her life to the fullest.

Sarah Sanchez didn’t know why she was constantly feeling fatigue or why she was having trouble breathing when she would just walk up and down the stairs. Her doctors either dismissed her concerns or claimed it was more of a psychological issue rather than a physical. It seemed like nobody took her illness seriously. Her health took a turn for seven years, until she began treatment for the unknown condition that was plaguing her – Lyme disease. Not satisfied with Western medicine and the U.S. health care system, Sarah slowly began using alternative medicine and changed her lifestyle to one that is focused on health and wellness. Now she hosts a podcast with her husband, Aaron, where they discuss the issues and solutions of Lyme disease.

You can listen to her podcast, Lyme Voice, find her on Facebook, check out her film, Disappearing from Society, and get her book, Little Bite Big Trouble.
