This week we shared an Earl Gray tea with Sari Grossman! Sari has a very unique case of Crohn's disease and she has a family history of Crohn's as well.  We talk to her about growing up with Crohn's and also having a mother who is living with Crohn's. We discussed how she started navigating her own healthcare in her teens (with her Mom's coaching) and how and when she transitioned to an adult provider. We talked about her involvement with a club at her college for students living with IBD and how that provided her with both support and leadership opportunities. We talked about her choice of a career in immunology and her hope for future treatments and about medical trauma and how she figured out she was struggling with it and how she got help. This was such a great conversation and Sari is such a grounded and remarkable young woman. I think you'll learn a lot for this episode and enjoy meeting her very much.
