A parent's journey with childhood epilepsy - Sarah and Lexi (Audio only)

What I wish I knew when I was diagnosed (Audio only)

We explore what young people wish they’d known when they were first diagnosed with epilepsy. Host Olivia sits down with Jasmine and Renell from the Youth Voice Network to share honest stories about the moment of diagnosis, the fears and misconceptions they faced, and the journey to independence. They discuss coping strategies, the importance of community, and how to break down stigma. This episode is packed with real-life experiences, practical tips, and hope for anyone navigating their own epilepsy journey.
