    Julie is no stranger to adversity. Diagnosed with CIDP at the age of 28, in the midst of motherhood and a full-time job as a special education teacher, Julie quickly found herself balancing it all while managing the debilitating symptoms of her condition. As she started to find a sense of normalcy, life threw her another curveball: her husband was diagnosed with cancer and would now need Julie to care for him. Despite these challenges, Juile was unwilling to give up. She shifted gears, found strength within herself that she never believed possible, and turned her situation into an inspiring journey filled with creativity, passion, and hope for all.
