With a combined 33+ years living with juvenile arthritis, Bri and Beka have managed a lot of fears and crossroads with this disease. We understand how hard it is as a kid with JA to feel like your whole world is crashing in. So on this episode we wanted to share what some of our biggest fears were about our futures with JA and how we conquered/debunked them. We are so thankful that life led us to where we are today and hope our journey can inspire you too.
