Hello everyone and welcome to the blog and PodCast show, "People Have No Idea." I'm Michele Christiansen and I wanted to use this first post as an introduction to both my blog and Podcast.

People Have No Idea is about mental, physical, and life challenges. The primary focus being on the genetic disease Fragile X, which affects me personally as well as my family. I will also be interviewing those who not only deal with Fragile X but other challenges as well. Challenges that are mental, physical and personal. I want those I speak with to tell me their stories. Stories that are educational, funny, sad and have a real human side. It's important to shed light on these different issues so we can all better understand each other.

I will be using Fragile X as a jumping off point for this blog/Podcast but plan on digging into many other topics that people may not understand. In my first intro episode of PHNI I will give summaries on the following:

-Why the title People Have No Idea?

-What is Fragile X?

And finally, what's coming up in Episode One?
