Rachel always wanted to pursue a career in the medical field, but she felt like hyperhidrosis would make that impossible. But now, in her 30s, she’s going for it.

If you feel like HH is holding you back – whether that’s from pursuing a relationship, a family, a hobby, or your dream career like Rachel – this podcast episode is sure to leave you feeling inspired.

Rachel shares:

• Her earliest memory of hyperhidrosis and surprising diagnosis
• How sweat has impacted her confidence and daily life
• Her Botox fail and the other treatments she’s tried
• Why it was so exciting to realize her colleague had hyperhidrosis
• Her motivation for contributing to the HH subreddit
• Learning about celebrities with hyperhidrosis
• Why she’s going back to school to pursue her dream career
• What she would say to her 15-year-old self – or to another young person dealing with HH today

This is a fun and upbeat conversation that will leave you feeling connected, seen, and less alone in your hyperhidrosis journey.
