At just 23 years old, Danielle’s life was flipped upside down. What started as numbness in her hands and feet quickly progressed to full-body paralysis. She was dismissed by doctors, told it was all in her head, and sent home—until a spinal tap revealed the truth.

Danielle was diagnosed with CIDP, a rare and chronic neurological disorder that left her unable to walk. In this powerful episode, she opens up about medical trauma, the emotional toll of living with an invisible illness, and what it took to finally get the right diagnosis and care.

Now, over a decade later, Danielle is a wife, a mother, and a fierce advocate for herself and others living with chronic conditions. This is a story of resilience, identity, and redefining what it means to live fully—even when your body says otherwise.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, unheard, or afraid of the future, this episode is for you.

Haley was only 31 when she lost her speech mid-conversation. Hours later, she learned she had a brain tumor—an incurable astrocytoma that would come to define her life in unexpected ways.

In this episode, Haley opens up about the invisible weight of terminal illness, how relationships shift in the face of mortality, and why she refuses to stop talking about death. With resilience, dark humor, and unshakable honesty, she shares the importance of community, the spiritual signs that keep her going, and the small joys that make every day worth showing up for.

This one’s about empathy, meaning, and choosing to love—even when you don’t know how much time you have.
