You may remember Olivia from our very first episode, Intricacies of Grief and Growing Up, where she talked about losing her father at a very young age. In this episode, we talk about her experience with mental illness, coming out, and the more common than not but not so commonly discussed college experience.

Follow Olivia on Instagram @olivialmgould for pics of her life, theatrical antics, and those fantastic miniatures.

Meet Cassandra. She’s a mom, a wife, a dancer, a podcast host, a therapist, and also someone who is part of a very small percentage of people with an incredibly rare autoimmune disease. Although her disease is rare, her experience is far too common. In this episode, she shares her experience of getting a diagnosis, only to find out it wasn’t correct, and how her entire life changed in a matter of months.

Be sure to check out Cassandra’s podcast, Diagnosed, But Not Defeated for more about her journey, as well as others who also are facing their own health challenges.
